[Finale] TAN: treble clef in 18th century cello parts

I just want to make sure that I haven't missed a vital piece of information: Can I generally assume that a treble clef in 18th century cello parts means an octave down, or are there exceptions from the rule which are more than simple misprints or forgotten 8va? Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufakt

Re: [Finale] TAN: treble clef in 18th century cello parts

To be honest, I have rarely seen tenor clefs in late 18th century cello parts, and there is no special reason for using treble clefs, it is just a very normal way of notating high cello passages in classical/early romantic music. It's not notated as 8va or 8vb, but as far as I know it is always

This seems a bit extreme. The conductor was describing best practice, but professional wind players routines work from combined parts, on one staff or two. Dennis Bathory-Kitsz wrote: I just got my wrist slapped over this from the conductor of a professional orchestra who said they never read wi

Re: [Finale] div wind parts

We see wind parts on one line fairly often. We don't like them in new music, especially if there is complexity involved and Finale skills could have fixed it, but we deal with it and play it. But, if it's EASY to read and saves a page turn - no real problem, I would say. The only time we wo
