6/6/2023 0 Comments Musescore line break![]() In the example piece above, what I think has happened is as follows: But readability is important too, and the music notation shouldn't get too squashed. Often as many measures as possible per system is used - to save on paper and page turns. The number of measures/bars per system doesn't necessarily* have any musical meaning. The musical term for what you are calling a line/row is a system. I'm a noob so IDK what musical line means. PS by use of "line" I mean a single row on a sheet. Is there any functional musical reason (or other valid reason) why you would change the number of measures per line? Maybe to someone with more insight this could be obvious. Ok, so maybe my example could be explained for a variety of reasons. I think this question was trying to ask something similar but it was worded really poorly: How many measures/bars per staff? and the way it split the song across pages is really odd. However there is still a few measures where it displays like that even in the windows app. ![]() ![]() so I downloaded the song and view it in musescore app, and the effect is (almost) gone, So I guess it's just something in the musescore web app viewer. Maybe it's just poor generation? some computer produced effect? ie something like a line justify, so if it's going to take 2 pages anyway, it just averages the measures out across the page. I don't see any clear reason why it does that. This score alternates between 3 measures per line and 1 measure per line I notice this in a lot of pieces, and one in particular is: To me it's so disruptive that it is this something I may bug report over? Am I just over reacting here? I just don't know something important I assume, and maybe there are good reasons to do this. really long volume bars (crescendo arrows) indicating a large increase over a single measure (tho you could also use p/m/f to indicate the degree of absolute volume change)Īre there any other (valid) reasons to do something like this?ĭoes it bother anyone else? I'd prefer it was at least consistent in a song to make it easier for timing tracking to be consistent as I read.if the measure was thematically different in some way (flats/sharps ect).aligning with other voices which have denser notes.if the measure was very note dense (so more space per note makes better readability).Sometimes when reading a score found online it would go from consistently 4 bars but then suddenly one line has only a single bar/measure. normally 3-5 bars/measures in a single row. The published books of game music I have seem pretty consistent within a song, tho it may differ across the whole book. One feature I wonder if it is ever used with special importance is number of bars per line/row. I'm relatively new to reading piano score and I notice lots of little subtle things about it which have great importance.
