Re: How to handle changing transpositions

[Urs Liska]

Ok, I've verified that *this* issue is no issue.

But I have another issue warranting the same thread:

What are the most straightforward approacges to dealing with instruments that actually change transposition, e.g. clarinets in A and B or an oboe/englishhorn part?

Thanks for any ideas
Urs

 Hi list,

 I have a problem understanding how to efficiently deal with horn 
 parts that change their transposition with the clef.

 That is: In the treble clef the part is notated as \transpose f, c
 while in the bass clef it is notated in concert pitch.
 This is extremely unusual, I should say. Normally the bass clef would 
 be notated as \transpose f c, that is, as if it were octavating.
 And isn’t it rather confusing if the transposition changes with the 
 clef? I assume that your master copy of the „Trunkene Lied” uses this 
 convention, but in
your place I’d consider changing it, to be honest.

Well, yes, that's the convention of the score. But I also recalled 
having learned it that way. Once. Decades ago. I'll look into 
documentation for current orchestration conventions.

Thanks
Urs


 Yours, Simon
