November has been praised for years by musicians, publishers and engravers as one of the finest and most vivid fonts ever designed for music notation programs. For use in programs such as Finale, Dorico, Sibelius or LilyPond, November 2 now includes a astonishing variety of symbols, from usual shapes such as noteheads, clefs and rests to rarer characters like microtonal accidentals, special instrument techniques, early clefs or orna- ments, ranging from the Renaissance1 to today’s avant-garde music. Based on the principle that each detail means as much as the whole, crafted with ultimate care, November 2 is a font of unequalled coherence. While in tune with the most recent technologies, its inspiration comes from the art of tradi- tional music engraving. Whichever period of music you deal with, November 2 will make your score look beautiful and vibrant, as never before. What is new in November 2.1? Since the early version of the November, Nearly 900 new symbols have been added to the font for a total of over 1200 distinct characters. But of course it’s not just about the quanti- ty: the glyphs have been carefully checked with an unmatched attention to details - Beauty makes no compromise. Moreover, November 2 is the first commercial font2 to comply with SMuFL- Standard Music Font Layout -, the future of music font standard initiated by Steinberg Media Technologies and based on Unicode. Technically, November 2 is made of PostScript outlines wrapped in cross-platform, universal Open Type Format. The November 2 package includes advanced support for Finale, Dorico, Sibelius & LilyPond, and is delivered with useful extras and rich metadata. Check out our Score Examples that follow the Character Map. We hope that you will feel as much joy using November 2 as we did designing it! Robert Piéchaud & the Klemm team www.klemm-music.de/november2 1 For a full support of medieval music (Gregorian, École de Nostre-Dame, Machault etc.), checkout our Medieval 2.0 package. 2 The first non-commercial SMuFL font is Bravura, designed by Daniel Spreadbury. 3 — November 2 Presentation — November 2.1 Character Map Below are all the glyphs1 found in November2 and organized in various tables. The legacy fonts November and NovemberExtra are provided and installed by convenience for programs that do not fully support Unicode music symbols: Finale older than 2012, Sibelius etc. Please read the Requirement & Installation section carefully for specific information about November 2 and Finale, Dorico, Sibelius or LilyPond.

  • TIME SIGNATURES, TEMPO, BEAT and GORDONIAN SYLLABLES EXPLAINED
    TIME SIGNATURES, TEMPO, BEAT and GORDONIAN SYLLABLES EXPLAINED TIME SIGNATURES Time Signatures are represented by a fraction. The top number tells the performer how many beats in each measure. This number can be any number from 1 to infinity. However, time signatures, for us, will rarely have a top number larger than 7. The bottom number can only be the numbers 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, et c. These numbers represent the note values of a whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, thirty- second note, sixty-fourth note, one hundred twenty-eighth note, two hundred fifty-sixth note, five hundred twelfth note, et c. However, time signatures, for us, will only have a bottom numbers 2, 4, 8, 16, and possibly 32. Examples of Time Signatures: TEMPO Tempo is the speed at which the beats happen. The tempo can remain steady from the first beat to the last beat of a piece of music or it can speed up or slow down within a section, a phrase, or a measure of music. Performers need to watch the conductor for any changes in the tempo. Tempo is the Italian word for “time.” Below are terms that refer to the tempo and metronome settings for each term. BPM is short for Beats Per Minute. This number is what one would set the metronome. Please note that these numbers are generalities and should never be considered as strict ranges. Time Signatures, music genres, instrumentations, and a host of other considerations may make a tempo of Grave a little faster or slower than as listed below.

I then consider the possibility of an entirely silent musical piece. I begin with John Cage’s 4′33″, since it is the most notorious candidate for a silent piece of music, even though it is not, in fact, silent. I conclude that it is not music either, but I argue that it is a piece of non-musical sound art, rather than simply a piece of theatre, as Stephen Davies has argued.

  • Theory of Music
    MUSIC THEORY 1. Staffs, Clefs & Pitch notation Naming the Notes Musical notation describes the pitch (how high or low), temporal position (when to start) and duration (how long) of discrete elements, or sounds, we call notes . The notes are represented by graphical symbols, also called notes or note signs . In English-speaking countries, the pitch names given to a row of notes steadily rising in pitch are drawn from the the first seven letters of the Roman alphabet: A B C D E F G In the Netherlands, the letters A to G are also used, but otherwise the 'Dutch' system follows the 'German' system, so-called because it originated in Germany, which also uses H. Staff or Stave The note signs are placed on a grid formed of horizontal lines and spaces. This grid is called the staff or stave . The plural of either word is staves . Although, in the past, staves could have many different numbers of lines, today the most common staff format has five lines separated by four spaces and is know as the pentagram . When numbering the lines, it is a widely used convention to number them from the bottom ( 1) to the top ( 5) of each staff. The spaces between the lines are numbered too, again from the bottom ( 1) to the top ( 4). Redaction and Publishing Marzenna Donajski © Dolmetsch Music Theory and History Online by Dr. Brian Blood 1 Music is read from 'left' to 'right', in the same direction as you are reading this text. The higher the pitch of the note , the higher vertically the note will be placed on the staff .

  • MOLA Guidelines for Music Preparation
    3 MOLA Guidelines for Music Preparation Foreword These guidelines for the preparation of music scores and parts are the result of many hours of discussion regarding the creation and layout of performance material that has come through our libraries. We realize that each music publisher has its own set of guidelines for music engraving. For new or self-published composers or arrangers, we would like to express our thoughts regarding the preparation of performance materials. Using notation so!ware music publishers and professional composers and arrangers are creating scores and parts that are as functional and beautiful as traditionally engraved music. " .pdf (portable document format) is the suggested final file format as it is independent of application so!ware, hardware, and operating system. "ll ma%or notation so!ware has the option to save a file in this format. "s digital storage and distribution of music data files becomes more common, there is the danger that the librarian will be obliged to assume the role of music publisher, expected to print, duplicate, and bind all of the sheet music. &ot all libraries have the facilities, sta', or time to accommodate these pro%ects, and while librarians can advise on the format and layout of printed music, they should not be expected to act as a surrogate publisher. The ma%ority of printed music is now produced using one of the established music notation so!ware programs. (ome of the guidelines that follow may well be implemented in such programs but the so!ware user, as well as anyone producing material by hand, will still find them beneficial.

  • From Neumes to Notation: a Thousand Years of Passing on the Music by Charric Van Der Vliet
    From Neumes to Notation: A Thousand Years of Passing On the Music by Charric Van der Vliet Classical musicians, in the terminology of the 17th and 18th century musical historians, like to sneer at earlier music as "primitive", "rough", or "uncouth". The fact of the matter is that during the thousand years from 450 AD to about 1450 AD, Western Civilization went from no recording of music at all to a fully formed method of passing on the most intricate polyphony. That is no small achievement. It's attractive, I suppose, to assume the unthinking and barbaric nature of our ancestors, since it implies a certain smugness about "how far we've come." I've always thought that painting your ancestors as stupid was insulting both to them and to yourself. The barest outline of a thousand year journey only hints at the difficulties our medieval ancestors had to face to be musical. This is an attempt at sketching that outline. Each of the sub-headings of this lecture contains material for lifetimes of musical study. It is hoped that outlining this territory may help shape where your own interests will ultimately lie. Neumes: In the beginning, choristers needed reminders as to which way notes went. "That fifth note goes DOWN, George!" This situation was remedied by noting when the movement happened and what direction, above the text, with wavy lines. "Neume" was the adopted term for this. It's a Middle English corruption of the Greek word for breath, "pneuma." Then, to specify note's exact pitch was the next innovation.
