Thanks for your aid.
As a pianist I have no experience in reading sheet music violin. And rules
for positionning the fingering are really different...

Hi all,
Do you know the placement from the bottom up of string mark (II or D) with
fingering and bowing mark :
- all above and only string mark below?
- all above?
Thanks.
Pierre
Quite honestly it's been a long time since I've seen a string
designation in music, but I think I would EXPECT to see it above,
along with all the other specific instructions, with dynamics below.
My rule of thumb (rather than a hard-and-fast "rule") would be to
group things together so they can be seen and acted on at a single
glance, and not force the player's eyes to jump up and down and
re-integrate all the conflicting instructions mentally. And if you
need more space between staves, then so be it!
Last night I was reading some music that had been heavily covered
with down- and up-bow markings in pencil, and when things got a
little hairy I had to choose between reading the notes and rhythms or
the bowings. The notes won! Next time I'll have the bowings
integrated.
