There are 2 square brackets around 2 notes in this trombone part. What does it mean?
A trombonist would normally play the E in 2nd position and the F in 1st. Alternatively, the notes can be played in 7th ad 6th positions, one partial higher. Without seeing the larger context of the …

Writing music by hand?

Did Renaissance composers work from a full score?
When I look at manuscripts and original publications from composers of Renaissance polyphony, I tend to find part-books, not scores. So I would see a soprano book, an alto book, and so on. When I s …

Does "poco a poco accel. fino al misura 25" sound like proper Italian tempo mark?
Assuming the music wouldn't be performed by an Italian-only orchestra, it may be most effective to simply write that in English.

Where can I find music written in baritone and mezzo-soprano clefs?
You might check music in the era of Palestrina, 16th Century masses and motets. In my experience these composers often matched the clef to the singers, so anything with a mezzo-soprano or a baritone …

Baritone clefs, difference between these two
This is the alto clef.
It is used for the viola most of the time and frequently encountered in orchestral scores. As you have probably already learned, the clef points to middle C. In this position …

Gm+6 Chord notation
Other answers have missed that this is a G minor chord (they all suggest using B natural). Especially given the context and the preceding Gm chord, this is almost certainly a G minor triad, G Bb D, w …

What convention is used for sharps and flats in chromatic scale notation?
This example baffles me. I was taught that if a chromatic passage or note is ascending, use a natural or sharp to raise the note from within the key; if it is descending, use a natural or flat to low …

Which clef is used for the tenors here?
I'd say trust the position of the flat and call it a G-clef. You can tell this is correct because the C instruments in the score are also in F.
A quick perusal through the score also shows that...

What is the correct way to realize this ambiguous swing notation?
Assuming that this is an arrangement of an established piece, you should listen to a recording of the original and play it as close to that as you can. Choral arrangements are notorious for having poo …

Why did Shostakovich use such long note values for such fast notes?
I've loved Shostakovich's 8th quartet for ages but only just now looked at the score. I imagined the second movement would be a sea of black notes given its breakneck pace and was shocked to see that …

Theoretically Correct vs Practical Notation
The pianist would feel the 4/4 beat and treat your notation as a syncopation.
If the whole ensemble play the whole piece with this 3+3+2 feel, 8/8 time might be the best choice. …

Are slurs necessary for a piano tremolo, and if so what does their presence indicate?
The two quotations above differ only in that the octave tremolo for the left hand has a slur. I've seen tremolos in piano music both with and without the slur. How would a pianist perform the two …

How would I notate this custom repeat scenario with sheet music?
