Notation Questions: Martellato, Layer connection etc.

[wilsonwilson1]

Hey people,

like the headline says, I have 6 questions (also I show you examples):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chN3b-WQmik

In this video, there are 6 things that i want to know.
The first one is right at the beginning. There is only one line. Normally there are two lines (because it's a piano) but the two lines follow later. I just want to know how to change between those two.

The second thing is the martellato-technique @1:16. How do you do this? How do I reverse the stem so it's in the middle or is there another way?

The third thing is @1:33 in the left hand. How do i split it like that? There are 2 layers but they are somehow connected to each other, because each layer would be incomplete.

The fourth thing is @1:50 in the second line. The key changes within the measure. I didn't even slightly get a hint to that.

The fifth thing is @4:03 in the last line the right hand. There are at the end of the first measure 5 thirty-seconds, and not 4. Also there does not stay quintole (a 5).

And the 6th thing is not in this video. It is just a basic question. How do i change the layer or more detailed: I want 2 layers, i change to the second layer, but how do i change back to the first?

That's it for now.

I hope you can answere all those question.

Thx for help

It's simple. Most of what you want to do, you can't do in PrintMusic.

If you have PM2011, you can't hide individual staves (although you can, in earlier versions) you can't do cross-staff notation, you can't do mid-measure key changes.

You can do what look like incomplete layers by using rests, and hiding them.

You can enter the 5-32nds in the space of 4, and hide the number.

You can change the layers a couple of ways. Watch the videos, about multiple voices.

so it is not possible to do this in other finale versions also? Because wikipedia says g.henle verlag is using finale as well (but i don't know which finale) and they did publish islamey by balakirev.

No, he is saying that you can only do some things in PrintMusic, but you can do everything in the full Finale.

By the way, how would any pianist possibly memorize that? I know, repetition, repetition, repetition.

oh ok thx

btw, somehow they all do. i think you need alot of training memorizing all this.
