Re-typeset parts for legibility

[wtw]

Hello,

I am playing the Crusell Clarinet Quartet No 2 and found that the separately scanned parts (i.e. those published by Richault) were quite hard to read. I therefore typed them into the computer to create clean copies. These are (as best as I can make them) true to the parts already online (so I haven't fixed any wrong notes or dynamics conflicting between parts, but may have made errors). I think they generally comply with the typsetting guidelines https://imslp.org/wiki/IMSLP:Typesetting_Guidelines.

Question - would it be useful to submit these parts?
Caveat - I didn't spot the much clearer photographs of the later edition also available, mostly because I'm a bit silly, but also because these have all 4 parts in 1 file and it took up much less screen space, so I missed it.

Sorry if I've missed some guidance somewhere - it didn't feel like a new version, nor an arrangement into another form.

Thanks,
Will

Yes, we at IMSLP would always gladly appreciate any new typesets that contributors like you are willing to share with the wider community.

To do this, please follow the instructions here.

Many thanks,

And I'll be happy to proofread it. I'm aware of typesetters' problems

Do you plan to provide a complete score too? This is always useful.

Note that there are several scores and parts on the market. Will yours be better?

Parts and score are currently available at https://github.com/WillTWinter/CrusellC ... 2/releases. I'll wait until we've played through, and then see about submitting it. (edit: release url now points at the fixed url, not the one which changes. Sorry.)

Better? I'm not sure - I would expect anything professionally published to have more experience and capability behind it than I have. However it is easier to print/play from than what is presently available.

Opportunities for improvement - I'm fairly convinced there are some errant accidentals, phrasing marks and dynamics in both the versions online. I was waiting until I had actually played it through before being as bold as to change anything.

I'm printing the material and will start the job soon, but Sibley-Rochester had accustomed us to better scans!

I have proofread only Clarinet and Violin so far. Of course many slurs, beam etc. would not be the same with me. I'l try to limit myself.
Clarinet, Pastorale: Only 1 l required in the title. Meas 57, 1st note: It is usual to add an unnecessary courtesy natural.

Violin, Allegro, meas. 55: please reproduce the courtesy F natural and E flat of the source.

meas. 85, the first E 16th note wants a staccato dot.

Otherwise everything is perfect. Congratulations!

Generally scores are typeset with an engraving size smaller than parts, providing 4 systems/page.

Will you add a cover page to your parts? At present if you print them in booklet mode the good page turns will be at the bottom of even pages.

Viola part: (the first "real" misprints so far )

Allegro molto...
meas 30: want a courtesy D natural.
meas 97-99 want a E natural.

Last Allegro:
Review end of meas. 90.

Cello part:

meas. 21: move the accent of meas. 22 backwards.

meas. 35 add a courtesy B flat.
