A #MusicTheory question for you, if you're a musician who reads Western #MusicalNotation: which version of this syncopated measure in 2/2 looks right to you? Beam broken, or not? If the tie weren't there I'd definitely keep the beam across all four, but I'm not sure what to do with it there.

And finally for this week, a couple more #MusicalGames you can play at home to help teach your child how to read #MusicalNotation. #Music #MusicGames #MusicalPlay #LearnToReadMusic #MakeYourOwnMusic #GetKidsIntoMusic

If you are a software developer or a product manager, a UI/UX designer, or a musician, then this vlog about the 2-year-plus development of #MuseScore 4, a popular open source musical notation application, is very insightful and informative.

Hmmm, Garageband's Score may not be right for you - it sounds like you need a more educational app?

Let's hashtag the shit out of this and see if anyone with better info than me pops up:

Here is Frank Converse's :fbc: "Operatic Jig" from his 1865 book "Banjo Without a Master," arranged and transposed to modern gCGBD tuning.

"The Yellow Book," as it is often called to distinguish it from Converse's other 1865 book, was an interesting attempt at _truly_ instructing an aspiring player how to play every note of every song without the benefit of a teacher.

Instead of the usual tutor format of some "rudiments of music" frontmatter followed by straighforward arrangements of tunes, Converse breaks every measure of every tune down in *excruciating* detail, painstakingly describing in plain English what the standard notation means.

You can see what he was going for, but you can also see why he dropped this approach for all of his future publications.

This is a stroke style arrangement, and the `+` and `1` instructions under the staff are right-hand instructions, indicating whether the note is to be played with the thumb ("+") or the index finger ("1").
