I’m personally not a fan of the splayed stem notation - I’ve never seen it before so it makes me go “what?” before I get to the notes. It also sort of looks like the a natural should be played first because it’s stem goes down to the beam? I would rather have the b-double flat notation - then the

I differ on that. For me, (and with the perspective of only this measure) both the option of respelling the a flat in only that chord (looks like the repeated a flat moves) and respelling the a flats in the whole measure (and having to read the second between a flat and b flat as a diminished

Hi Knute, Speaking as a keyboard player (and lilypond novice) I would recommend re-spelling the a flat as a g sharp! Sometimes, theory has to take a backseat to readability. If the a natural is supposed to sound before the a flat, I might write that one as a grace note to an arpeggiated dyad.

Engraving chords with the same note twice, but different accidentals

2022-02-03 Thread Knute Snortum
