| Aug 9, 2019 at 8:32 | comment | added | gidds | I'm also a singer, and find the style demonstrated in this question very frustrating, especially when there are many short one-note syllables — trying to read a long line of separate quavers and semiquavers at speed is a nightmare! (I often resort to drawing in beams myself; even joining tail-up to tail-down notes can be clearer.) Unfortunately, its going out of fashion seems to be happening quite slowly; I still see a lot of music in this style… | |
