Please be respectful in comments and constructive criticism should OP ask for it. Thanks much for your helpful comments.Hello everyone! This is a subreddit for the free and open source music notation software MuseScore! I recognize that this is even more abnormal however, although your altguitar scores no doubt have the same issue at times. My eight-string guitars are generally strung with a high course as well, so I have ledger lines on that end as well. The subscript '8' notation is a good solution for our special needs, where only selected bass notes are likely to require more than the familiar four-to-five ledger lines. So avoiding both tab and grand staff has been a strong objective. Since that's how I work, I prefer to practice and study that way as well. I haven't taken sheet music to a job for many years. I generally rely on an iPad for viewing music. This is actually my biggest complaint about tab: I don't so much mind seeing it (well: yes, I do, but that's another topic) but I hate the fact that a one-page score now suddenly takes three pages. So I'm constantly reformatting and cutting/pasting to come up with compact representations. However, I desperately want to make scores as few pages as possible. I understand why Johnny Smith preferred it and felt that traditional classical guitar practice was not ideal. I have always resisted the idea of using the Grand Staff for guitar. Or if you prefer, piecemeal, as and when it happens. Which I personally prefer, to avoid any ambiguity with another number onto the score.Īnyway, for the input, nothing complicated (what I do): a simple text, the 8, in italics, that I put in a palette for reuse, then, once the 8 is in place on the first note concerned, in normal mode, I navigate in the score with the right arrow, and I copy-paste, simply. Sometimes these symbols are accompanied by brackets. It's really up to the arranger's (and/or publisher's) decision. Most of publications do not even mention this. Those little 8's only tell you that in the original score (for the lute), those basses were one octave lower, which you can't get on the guitar! This is extremely common in lute music adapted for guitar. ![]() I quote: "A small italicized "8" or "16" below a note indicates that the note is transposed one or two octaves from the original register to accommodate the guitar".įor the guitar and your score, you have to write the notes and play them exactly as written, nothing more. the Treble-8 clef, the tab staff looks right, but the guitar sound is mud. Everything looks the same as in the video. Ive created a score using a guitar sound, but it seems to be sounding an octave lower than it should. It is simply an editorial notation symbol as Frank Koonce himself written in his presentation (just the page before the BWV 995 suite itself). Hi, Im actually learning the program and using the MuseScore in minutes series. Which looks and plays just as expected (I assume you are aware that a guitar would not ordinarily be able to play that low I own this book by Frank Koonce.ĭon't bother with ottava lines or the "Fix to Line" function. If you try to extend a single ottava over both bass notes, then by definition, it will apply to the intervening sixteenths as well. The more correct abbreviation other than just 8va, though, is 8ba (for 'bassa'). 8vb is actually meaningless, even though some books do allow it and you do see it in pop music especially in English-speaking countries. Simply add *separate* ottavas markings to the two "C" bass notes, shortening each (again, be sure to use *Shift* plus left/right or you are changing only the appearance of the line, not the behavior). Its not wrong to say 8va - it stands for 'ottava' (octave) and can be used to mean above or below. However, in your case here, you can get around that, since the bass notes actually occur simultaneously with a rest only. In MuseScore, you can use Shift+Left/Right to change the *length* of the ottava (and make sure you use Shift otherwise it affects the length *visually* bu not *aurally*), but by definition, an ottava always applies to all voices of the staff within that span. First: in general, there is no way in MuseScore - or in standard music notation period as far as I know, for that matter - to specify that you want an ottava symbol to apply to one one voice and not other voices. ![]()
