Hi Curt,
I would definitely use #2 and #3 alternatingly,
depending on the context.
What I like especially about #3 are the alternating
stem directions, which immediately tell me (as a
pianist, not as a typographer) your idea. Maybe you
could incorporate this in #2 also, even if it might
use somewhat more vertical space? The patterns with
all-down stems in #1, #2 and #4 _seem_ to suggest
that the left hand part is considerably lower than
the right hand, and are therefore somewhat
irritating for me.
Best
Urs
PS: And yes, please leave out (most of) the
fingerings. You may print the "1 2" at the beginning
of the right hand, and you may suggest the "3" for
the melody. But the rest is really superfluous (and
therefore disturbing). You can't (and don't have to)
tell which fingering a pianist might chose for the
left hand.

Hi, I am very torn about how to notate a piano
figure of a simple piano prelude I wrote. Below are
four screenshot snippets of the figure in question
(the entire prelude is made up of such figures).
Can someone help recommend the best approach or
suggest an improvement? I can forward source for
any of them if anyone needs it.
Thanks,
Curt
#1 - what I started with, but it just takes up
so much space (four bars in)
<Mail Attachment.png>
#2 - treble clef (sample of those four bars in
a different file)
<Mail Attachment.png>
#3 - bass clef
<Mail Attachment.png>
#4 - tremolos, with four additional bars
