Pretty near. Yup.
Yes. WHOSE BRIGHT IDEA WAS PERFECT BOUND SHEET MUSIC FOR GODSSAKE???? So the first thing you have to do is open it, turn it upside down and JUMP ON IT a few times so it'll LIE FLAT. GRRRRRRRRR.
|
Yucko.
I recently got a nice book of flute music that's spiral bound. Thank you to whatever clever person had that obvious solution.

Yes.
I KNOW I read something fairly recently. I am currently Googling variations on sheet music binding lies flat lay-flat binding etc.
The other option would be a binder and 3-hole punch. What my voice teacher had me do. Also in choirs, we always have our music in those black binders, hole-punched, double sided. And generally that works- if it is a matter of paper flopping over, then paper clips might do the trick, too.
I'll keep looking, though, for whatever it was.
EDIT:
I found what I was thinking of, but I don't know how helpful it is.
[From the 26 italian arias book... the back cover talks about how they have the pages sewn together specially 'in multiples of sixteen, which prevents pages from falling out, while allowing the book to stay open for ease in playing'. So now you know that -whatsit- Alfred Publishing Co. does this for next time.. but what about now. I've found some potentially useful things that I'm sorting through, will post links shortly.]
Edit 3:
Just to brighten your day... at least you aren't singing from something that looks like this Tibetan musical score...

You mean OTHER than tearing it apart and having a lot of LOOSE PAGES THAT GET LOST?
|
I know a lot of knitters buy pattern books, only to have them rebound with spirals. I'm sure some of them just learn to do it themselves.
Really, there's a place for bound bound, and then there are times when it's just a Bad Idea. Sheet music, patterns, recipes...

There isn't enough margin!!!!! --Well, maybe there is [examining it]. Hmmph. And this is even Schirmer, who you'd think would UNDERSTAND. I also object to the idea that I'm supposed to spend all this extra time and money because THEY'RE incompetent!!!!!

Heh. Schirmer is actually known in music circles for having cheap and somewhat inaccurate editions of music. Schirmer and International both tend to have interesting mistakes in the music. Brietkopf & Hartel and Barenreiter tend to have really good editions, but they're more expensive. (You practically have to take out a loan to purchase the Beethoven Piano and Violin sonatas.  ) Boosey & Hawkes tend to be hit and miss as far as quality of edition. (Their Bartok editions are pretty pricey.) Anyway, if you're buying Schirmer, they tend to try cut costs as much as possible, occasionally at the expense of the resulting music. (Don't get me wrong... I've used Schirmer editions, too.)
Of course, if you're buying collections of music, you usually don't have a choice of which publisher to buy from.

Hi,
This is off topic, but I just found the citation. I thought those of you who suffer from CFS might find it interesting.

Detection of an Infectious Retrovirus, XMRV, in Blood Cells of Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Vincent C. Lombardi,1,* Francis W. Ruscetti,2,* Jaydip Das Gupta,3 Max A. Pfost,1 Kathryn S. Hagen,1 Daniel L. Peterson,1 Sandra K. Ruscetti,4 Rachel K. Bagni,5 Cari Petrow-Sadowski,6 Bert Gold,2 Michael Dean,2 Robert H. Silverman,3 Judy A. Mikovits1,
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disease of unknown etiology that is estimated to affect 17 million people worldwide. Studying peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from CFS patients, we identified DNA from a human gammaretrovirus, xenotropic murine leukemia virus–related virus (XMRV), in 68 of 101 patients (67%) as compared to 8 of 218 (3.7%) healthy controls. Cell culture experiments revealed that patient-derived XMRV is infectious and that both cell-associated and cell-free transmission of the virus are possible. Secondary viral infections were established in uninfected primary lymphocytes and indicator cell lines after their exposure to activated PBMCs, B cells, T cells, or plasma derived from CFS patients. These findings raise the possibility that XMRV may be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of CFS.
