The Art of the Arranger

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

... o, who needs bar lines?

Yes, that did occur to me. But the reason is that the prize is having your arrangement published in the magazine.

Oooh! I might do an transcription of Ravel's Pictures at an Exhibition!

The trouble with doing a piano reduction of Ravel's great work is that a Russian has already done it, so you do risk comparison.

These are the rules. You'll have to be quick.

You could of course set a 1024/4 time

Aha you have also discovered one of my methods for getting Sibelius software to notate free time bars
(hidden graphics make the TS vanish)

That's a bit long-winded. On my 1995 version of Sibelius 7 (yes I do mean Sibelius 7) you can delete a time signature simply by selecting it and pressing "delete". Alternatively, you can input invisible barlines (though if you forget to switch off the numbering, you could be "found out").

But the bars (even if you hide the barlines) remain in the Time signature that you've deleted - and it still won't let you cross a barline with a tuplet so that you have have a hidden time signature of 128/1 (or whatever) if you want to write Music in multiple (simultaneous) metres.

Yes, that's true, even with the 1995 version (which I still use).

I havn't seen a concert band version of Mussorgsky's Pictures, has anyone else?

That's quite surprising in view of the seemingly vast number of arrangements in existence.

I think that answers the question.

Hmmm yes I think it does EA!

Thanks EA for the posts of Pictures. I think there is room for another! Fancy putting bells in the first Promenade!

That's all right, Flossie.

Indeed.

Fancy putting bells in the first Promenade!

Somebody did.
