About My Editions
I am a choir director, and quite picky about my scores, so I engrave most public domain works myself. Things you can expect from my editions:
- rehearsal marks
- often breath marks, and often editorial dynamics (please take my dynamic markings in particular with a grain of salt; I can happily make you a version of any of my editions sans dynamics on request)
- often texts + translations
- for Renaissance pieces, original note values wherever possible
- an odd number of pages wherever possible (to minimize page turns for performers)
- beaming for rhythm, not syllabification (i.e. I use beams to show beat divisions, and use slurs to show syllabification)
