Ok. I know how to notate the sharps and flats but I might have missed in the big manual how to notate naturals and there are a lot of them in this piece. For anyone familiar with the chopin prelude in c minor right hand and possibly left hand there are a bunch of naturals. How do I notate them as when I hear it it will sound a mess. Here's what I have so far in the first violin part. I really hope all note durations are right. I know the rule about accidentals how it only as far as I recall effects the bar they are in unless otherwise notated but I'm so picky that I want to know they will be playing a natural in case they don't know the rule of accidentals. My instructed was not specific weather he wanted us to orchestrate for a amateur or pro orchestra so I'm just being over cautious.
first violin part { g4 a g4. f8 e4 | e4 f e4. des8 c4 | d4 e | g4. f8 e4 | d4 g | b4. a8 g2 | e' e d d | c d b4. a8 g4 | c aes g4. f8 e4 | e f e4. d8 c4| } I want to impress my instructor with out a headache lol! thank goodness for perfect pitch, except for today. lol! I have some other questions but I'll address them in a new topic when I get there. right now I'm just worried about this top part as I will be playing those accidentals in the second violin and viola parts later. Be blessed all and thanks for your help. I'm loving this lilly pond. Now let's hope I can grasp my head around this in time for the final project in may so I don't have to annoy everyone and I can focus on the music. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
