Hi Phil,
> Early music tends to work like that
Really? What editions are you using? I’ve spent a great deal of my life singing
and conducting music composed and/or engraved before ca. 1920, and have found
it almost invariably uses *beaming* (as well as slurs and extensions,
sometimes) to indicate melismas — *that* I find intensely hard to sightread
(and teach to singers).
Rarely have I seen older scores use the "instrumental beaming plus lyric
extensions (with or without slurs)”, which is what I’m advocating — and which
(I believe) you’re saying is difficult to read.
I would love to see references to such scores, so I can see what you’re talking
about.
Thanks,
Kieren.
