I wasn't going to go into the gory details! Looking at the different editions on IMSPL is an interesting exercise, both on "first" editions but also into 19th century editorial practices. And that's just on the LH part in one bar! Peter - Thursday, April 12, 2018, 5:55:1

Hi Knute, Ah well, another variant! I'm not a Chopin scholar but the different editions can be a nightmare. It's interesting that yours and mine both claim to be "first". Good luck in sorting them out. But my comment to Andrew still holds - use the pedal to hold onto the low C for the first crot

I'm using CFEO (Chopin's First Editions Online) http://www.chopinonline.ac.uk/cfeo/browse/pageview/73671/ This matches (nearly) my Schirmer's Edition. --- Knute Snortum (via Gmail) On Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 5:02 AM, ptoye wrote: > Hi Andrew, > > I don't think it's odd notation as the G and B fl

Hi Andrew, I don't think it's odd notation as the G and B flat would be held by the fingers while the C and F are lost by the pedal change after the first crotchet. The A is a quaver to get your hand out of the way of the right hand figurations. But I'm not sure that this is what Chopin actually

Ah, Chopin. I still think it is odd notation. Isn't it? Andrew On 12 April 2018 at 21:24, Kieren MacMillan wrote: > > > > > ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Knute, Odd music. Looks like the pedal is held down, which means the crotchets are going to sound as long as the minims, unless I am missing something. What is the work in question? Do you need to preserve this odd notation? Andrew On 12 April 2018 at 21:17, Knute Snortum wrote: > > > I wo
