>From what I know this usually is only done when space is very limited. Liners rarely ever omit these values, but I have a poster of all classical music that uses this notation, for example (it has the names of maybe 4k works squeezed on it in like 8pt font). I don't think we're that concerned about space.
Of course, I think Gershwin's "Concerto in F" is an exception, because of artist intent. There are others like this too, but very few. -Nate --- Frederic Da Vitoria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 2006/5/25, Jan van Thiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On 5/25/06, Frederic Da Vitoria > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Some people (not only MB users) omit "major", > and specify only > > > "minor".
