#Sonification is the use of non-speech #audio to convey information or perceptualize data.

While there is currently no conclusive set of techniques which standardizes the way data is interpreted, the results are often interesting, and sometimes, #musical or even beautiful.

Songs, like other things people use, get worn in their use. But are they necessarily made the worse for wear? Time for another #settlingscores blog post.

The craft of providing music preparation has this in common with painting a transitory Sand Mandala using small copper funnels - it is part of a greater purpose; one of several transitory parts of the process of getting music heard by the listener.

[Robert Puff @robertpuff]

This seems to have a lot in common with music preparation, particularly in the context of recording sessions where the music exists in print form as a means to a very specific end. The sheet music serves its purpose, then is no longer needed. 4/

The part of the process that really hit home with me was when the piece was completed. One of the Monks took a brush and carefully wiped the sand painting into oblivion. The other Monks then ceremoniously dismantled the table and they went on their way. 3/

A few years ago, at a local university where I was the music copyist and librarian for an orchestral recording session, some Buddhist Monks had been visiting; spending over a week creating a beautiful #Mandala of colored sand. 1/

Me: "There is a wrong note in the intro. Do we have it anywhere else?"

Editor: "See if this fixes the issue! Grabbed it from the afternoon show."

Me: "Great! Totally sounds like you fixed the wrong note!"

Editor: "Wonder what it would sound like if I fixed the correct note??!

To input a double trill line, one above and the other below the staff in #Dorico, make sure the two pitches are in separate voices.

Insert the 2nd trill from the popover, with the caret showing the 2nd voice.

A clean score not only communicates a composer or arranger’s ideas, but also saves rehearsal time. Here's one teacher's approach to notational concerns with marching percussion scores. https://t.co/plJAICwMwk
