Editing Mensural Music for Modern Performers — Seconda Prat!ca — Medium

This article makes a lot of good points.  I think about doing some of the things they recommend that the current SerpentPublications.org transcriptions don’t do.  I don’t think I’d have even as many people to play with as I do now if I kept the original clefs.  I’ve had trouble with the lilypond spacing when I’ve tried to go to the original note shapes, but I could work harder.  And certainly I should do more work on transcribing the mensuration symbols better.  And I’ve been pretty lazy about  putting brackets in for the ligatures, which isn’t hard at all.

(non)Meeting report

[fillette]

People were gallivanting around all over the place, so nobody
wanted to come to a regular meeting. But our devoted fans still
want us to continue to transcribe and proofread music, so 4 of us
got together and read Il
estoit une fillette
by Clément
Jannequin
.

John Tyson had
specifically asked for that one. He swears it’s because it’s a
particularly good articulation exercise, and not because of the text.

Schedule

We continue to meet on Tuesdays, as long as enough people have
told me by Monday night that they want to come. The meetings are
at 233 Broadway, from 7:45pm to 10pm.
