Octave piano feature
1 Attachment(s)
Can anyone suggest how I might be able to represent in Notation the feature that I have circled at the bottom of the attached page?
I know how it sounds - a set of "rumbling" octaves - and I'm sure it has a fancy name but I cannot work out if I can input it into Notation. I don't need it to play properly as my requirement is to input the score so that I can transpose it for my accompanist. If all else fails I will just leave these measures blank and manuscript it into the printed score after transposing. Thanks for any help. Tim |

Hi, Tim:
I think the tremelos in your example may be incorrectly notated. They add up to 8 beats in a 4/4 bar. Inserting the Eb half notes one above the other (as in a pair of octave Eb's), then using "Add single chord tremelo" from the Ornaments menu (keystrokes: "1t") to each pair separately will result in the effect you're thinking about (or, at least, the one I think you're thinking about). The difference is that the two pairs of tremelo'ed (if that's a word) half notes would be stacked vertically rather than side-by-side. The screen grab illustrates the result. Hope that helps. David |

Many thanks for your speedy reply. I was rather puzzled by the note values but not being a pianist I thought this might be some sort of weird convention only understood by pianists. The piece does date from the 18th century so perhaps they had different conventions then but I wonder why it hasn't been picked up by a more recent editor. Thanks again Tim |
