extra 3 in the footer

In the footer there is an extra 3 on the scanned copy, but not in the transcription. Should it be added for completeness? Shootmanng (talk) 04:50, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

This has been fixed by adding the line {{rh||33|3}} to the footer. See details for rh header here Template:RunningHeader. Shootmanng (talk) 17:15, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

That's a binder's mark (to indicate in what order to put the folios when assembling the book). We don't reproduce binder's marks here as they're not relevant to a digital copy. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 17:49, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

@Shootmanng Not exactly a reply to the above but I am new here and still trying to figure out how things work, and I think I may have found two possible errors in your transcription of the score; otherewise I could probably validate the page for you. Unfortunately, I haven't played music for decades; so, my recollection of musical terminology is weak, but here goes:

In the top set of lines of the top pair, in the third measure, the second group of notes is shown as being slightly separated in the original; whereas, you have them vertically aligned. Similarly, in the top set of lines in the bottom pair, 2nd to last measure, the third group of notes, same thing. Sacle1 (talk) 20:23, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

I've had a go at tweaking the stem alignments to avoid collisions. See what you think. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 22:18, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

The first one looks good! :-)

The second one looks worse but I did not describe it very well. Let me try again: in the top set of lines in the bottom pair, 2nd to last measure, third group of notes, you have, in order from top to bottom, a C, a G and an E-middle C joined pair. The C and G are vertically aligned (one above the other). The E (along with the middle C) is slightly offset to the right with respect to the C&G. I am assuming you are familiar with basic musical notation, but if not, check this out: https://blog.sheetmusicplus.com/2015/12/30/learn-how-to-read-sheet-music-notes/

It certainly helped me! Sacle1 (talk) 14:59, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm well experienced with musical notation. I've done all the music scores for DMM. The solution I've put in for the second last bar of music, is musically fine and any musician reading it with a view to playing will be happy. Much as with the text here, we're not making an exact facsimile of the score, but are making an accurate version. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 04:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I have just validated it for you. :-) Sacle1 (talk) 01:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
