After putting Miracles aside for a few weeks while I focused on some other pieces, I returned to it yesterday and it’s now at the top of my practice menu. Thanks you again @Rubens for transcribing the score!!
So I have a question about measure 13, I’m not sure if I’m reading/counting it right. By my count, I think some notes in the bass and rebel clefs should be played at the same time, but they’re not lined up on the score. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m not reading/counting it right, or if it’s just a function of the transcription program.
Here’s a screengrab of the measure in question, and how I’m counting it. So, it’s in 4/4 time, and imagine you count every beat, IOW 16th notes or semiquavers, as “1 2 3 4” (instead of “1 e and a” but it’s the same thing). So the whole measure would be “1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4 ,1 2 3 4” (I don’t always count this way, but I found it helpful when learning September Song, also by Ffrench, so that’s what I wrote in here, plus it’s easier to write).
So you can see in the bass clef the count below each note. And above the treble clef, I wrote the beats for the measure in blue along the top with the arch showing which notes are included in each beat. The gray numbers are the internal count for each note. (So just to be clear, these aren’t fingerings!
What I’m not sure about is the count for the notes “Gb F Eb Db” in the treble clef and where they fall in relation to some notes in the bass clef. See the photo below with my markings, and I’ll try to explain.
By my count, the first Gb in the treble clef should line up with the second Ab in the bass clef (even though that note isn’t played). Then the Eb in treble clef should line up with the Gb in bass clef, which is played, so both of those notes should be played together. Next the Db in treble and the Ab in bass clef should be played together, and then the Ab in treble clef lines up with the fourth Ab flat in bas clef (but that bass clef Ab flat is tied so not played together).
If this count is right, and you wanted to treat that inner line as one voice, you could add a quarter note rest at the beginning of the measure in that line, and you could add a 16th note rest for the fourth beat, which would come right before the last Db in the treble clef.
So, am I counting this right? (Hopefully my explanation and the markings make sense)
@Rubens or anyone else thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
Here’s the measure, again this is measure 13 (on the second page)
