Marking *musica ficta* notes explicitly, but separately from editorial accidentals, is not necessary. Historically speaking, *musica ficta* is a note outside of the gamut, i.e. other than A–G or B-flat...

The main thing is that labeling an accidental as a *musica ficta* is not a good idea, since the term is overloaded in its meaning. In modern conventions, this means...

If you propose to write a script in bash but do not consider PERL, then I am quite curious as to why not? You have not directly answered question, but...

Note that I am not making a comparison between Python and PERL, but rather bash and PERL. There would be other factors that would be used to decide between PERL...

Glockenspiel has a two octave transposition down for the written score. Often the transposition is wrong in Sibelius unless the person explicitly added a glockenspiel instrument, since octave transpositions are...

Yes, what @th-we said. MEI usually encodes written pitch (for transposing scores) and then transposes the data when creating MIDI (or to create a sounding score). Humdrum usually encodes the...
