   Life has intervened as usual, so I’m still at this; I’ve finished a first pass of proofreading, putting my choral/orchestral score under the microscope, and I’m about 3/4 of the way through updating the computer file with the corrections.

   1/too many

     Natural signs continue to drive me crazy. It’s hard to be consistent with them, so I’ve had to think explicitly about what rules I’m following.

     Here follows a spontaneous thread-treatise on my use of natural signs. Proceed at your own risk of excruciating boredom. Or if this is your thing, enjoy.

     For context, my music is generally atonal, but not always and not completely. I don’t use key signatures, but there are often tonal melodic and harmonic implications.

     I’ve only done a tiny bit of adding, deleting or recomposing. I’m not finding much substantively wrong, but there’s a notation correction of some kind to make in almost every bar of almost every part. I’m kind of amazed.
