When I've been scoring things out for bass and guitar I've found that I often
have to alter the octave that one part is in. As primarily a bass player I
realize that bass parts are written an octave higher than they actually are to
avoid too many ledger lines below the staff. Having never really had to read
guitar music in standard notation I'm not sure if that's actually true.
The pieces I've scored with LP for guitar have seemed to be that way. Just for
reference, I consider the open high E string on a guitar to be the top space on
a treble clef stave. Again, this comes from trial and error, and not wanting
to have absurd ledger lines. But it is tough to put a guitar chord such as an
open E on a single treble clef (since the voicing spans two octaves) and NOT
have ledger lines. At least from the perspective of my limited scoring
experience.If I am wrong I'd appreciate being corrected. :-)
