It is my understanding that when using a bugle, To the Colors would be played in place of the National Anthem being played by a band. I base this on nothing other than what I've read at the Army page concerning bugle calls. The Retreat Ceremony involves playing Retreat to signal the end of

[Finale] Elbow on conga

I have a composer who wants me to notate a conga effect -- the player plays five strokes on the conga head with his right hand while putting pressure on it with his left elbow. (Or vice versa -- it doesn't matter.) He starts with a lot of elbow pressure but gradually applies less pressure,

Hey all, When using the straight line gliss, I usually like to have the line attach directly to the noteheads. But what if there's an intervening accidental that gets in the way? What's your preferred solution in this case? End the line before the accidental (although sometimes spacing

What do you think the most concise way of notating and explaining the desired effect would be? (The part is for a classical percussionist.) since it's classical and not latin percussionist, i would go for a 2-line staff (use treble staff lines G/D) with below the line open and above the

Hey Jef, The system you mentioned isn't practical because there are two congas. I'm currently using a five-line staff with the top space indicating the high conga and the second-from-bottom space indicating the low conga -- I'd like to stick with that if possible. (I don't generally

The elbow effect only happens once. ah yes then the best would be to stick as close to your normal notation of the congas as possible. do the same thing using a 5-line staff. i would however suggest in general using the G/D lines (you could transpose your whole conga part down a 2nd

My preference is to move the accidental slightly closer to the notehead, increase the spacing between the two notes slightly, and to end the line visibly (i.e. between staff lines), and at an angle so that it still points to the notehead. No idea whether this matches up to any convention, though.

Hi Darcy, I always end the gliss before the accidental. I don't think making the accidental incidental by putting it above the note is a solution I'd be happy with. When spacing is tight, and there's no room for hand spacing, I sometimes choose to move the gliss to a position above the
