Does anyone know how I could create a higher resolution version of this bar of music? It doesn't need to be this specific image. If there's a website or software that lets me put in the notes myself and can create a minimal image like this, but in a higher resolution, that would work.

Edit: I found the contact information for the original creator of the image, and they graciously sent me a higher resolution version. Thank you to everyone for your suggestions!

Got kind of an obtuse music notation question for all my composer and performer friends out there:

I've got piece of music, and it has large sections of it that are based on a half/whole scale starting on F. There is no key signature given in the piece.

So here's m'y question: Most of the time it works out better to use flats (F,Gb,Ab,A,B,C,D,Eb), but occasionally it works out better to do sharps (F,F#,G#, etc.) would it be better to keep it all noted in flats for consistency sake, or to switch it to the sharps where it reads easier?

Right now I'm leaning towards keeping it consistent, but I'm open to either way because ultimately I want other people to have an easier time performing it rather than having it the way I would prefer.

Beethoven kindly wrote this out for the string section.

This is the most complete guide to music writing I have ever found: "New Zealand School of Music Guide to Music Notation".

Thinking about how to write down electronic music compositions.

The note bits are easy: I'm familiar with standard notation and can write stuff down with it.

But the aleatoric bits and all the instrumentation... I probably need to give names to my voices and find out how to write down the tonal movements in time.

(The point is to write the music down for myself so I can perform it again - exact replication is not what I'm after)

With the popularity of "composing by ear" with DAWs lately, I wanted to give an example of a case when using notation to help identify weaknesses in orchestral parts can still be a valuable resource and make the resulting orchestration even stronger. #musiceducation #howtocompose #orchestration #musicnotation #technique

#LilyPond wizards here: I am typesetting a baroque piece that ends with a breve in all voices. Lilypond prints a bar line there that I want to hide (just for that final measure). How do I do that?
