Hi Urs, > the question of "simpler" is a question of context (i.e. background on the > reader's part).
Agreed. “Simpler” is also a question of practicality: for most pianists I know or have worked with, Bb7/D is significantly easier to parse at sight than A#7/Cx, regardless of what comes before or after. And, yes, that’s an actual example from a musical theatre song of mine. After much internal debate and many discussions with trusted colleagues, I ultimately chose the harmonically-incorrect but easier-to-sight-read Bb7/D. Anyone who would prefer A#7/Cx is free to write it in by hand. =) Cheers, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
