Should the soloist watch the conductor? This shouldn't be considered a hard and fast rule for all solos, but is valid for pieces like concertos, where the ensemble is more of a backing group for a soloist. In some pieces the different parts are on a much more equal footing, or there might be multiple intertwining solo parts, and then the conductor becomes the driving force again. |

Is there any real-world difference between time signatures such as 4/4 and 8/8? See also, 9/8, 12/8 and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meter_(music)#Compound_meter |

Is there a significant difference between playing one note or multiple ones per bow stroke? Articulation doesn't just mean separation. Having said that, the sense of these sentences might be worth an edit... |

Small natural above C in G Major If this were earlier music, I'd suggest it was en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musica_ficta, but that doesn't make sense here. They could be signals that the accidentals are editorial, but I'm not sure there was another way of performing this that needed correcting editorially. |

Does an implied tie exist If the notes are changing pitch, though, make sure it's a slur. Plenty of music programs get confused if you start adding ties to notes that don't have the same note next. |

Tips on counting and playing odd time signatures If you look at most odd time signatures, in my experience, you'll find some grouping that makes sense, like 4+3 or 3+2+2 for 7/8. It's a question of checking the music to see whether, for example, 5/4 splits into 3+2 or 2+3. Also be aware that sometimes the emphasis changes between bars or alternates every other bar. |

Trying to program a piano staff/stave. Is this what it's supposed to look like? You need a reference on musical notation; the one I always have next to my monitor is the Essential Dictionary of Musical Notation, published by Alfred: amazon.com/Essential-Dictionary-Music-Notation-Practical/dp/… |
