The only truly new thing I noticed was the tuplets, but I can understand that…no risk of collision with dynamics, etc. I’ve been doing measure numbers like that for some time now and it really is the easiest way to do it in rehearsals, and not too hard to set up. Thanks again for interviewing Cliff – this will be a handy addition.

He feels very strongly that rests, tuplet signs and measure numbers must be done a certain way. Sounds like a small thing but he contradicts most of the standards – some agree, some don’t.

Clarity of notation (especially in a large ensemble work with limited rehearsal time) and a positive/non-confrontational attitude in rehearsals seems pretty straight-forward. What did I miss?
