Good question. I notice that in an earlier verse she refers to going to Madrid and Barcelona, so I wonder if "Spanish boots of Spanish leather" are a broader reference or because of that geographical context. I hope someone can dig up some details. (more) |

I believe music software is on-topic here. Thanks for sharing the solution after figuring it out. (more) |

Not only did families flee the area because they could no longer survive there, but many of them had debts and lost their homes and land to foreclosures. The [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl) has a lot more information on both the agricultural and human costs of the drought... (more) |

Quite true on that last point! I imagine perfect pitch could make it worse, but it's plenty painful even without. (more) |

I was going to ask about fixed temperament (or its absence), but you already brought it up. I don't know this time period well; was equal tuning the established norm by then? (more) |

I, too, would like to find a solution for this problem, because even when everyone present is vaccinated, sometimes masks are required. I've tried a few "singer's masks" and none of them have let me really sing. I've seen, but not tried, "frames" that you place between a mask and your face that are... (more) |

Thank you! Yes, I meant the one being played with a bow, not the mandolin. It looks like she's pinching the melody string between her fingers, which, like a fret, would shorten the pitch-producing part of the string. That's what I meant by "fretting between her fingers"; clearly there are no actua... (more) |

Also affected: https://outdoors.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask, https://photography.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask, https://cooking.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask... heck with it; I'm going to rewrite it to not use the name of the community in those two places. (more) |

I tried to fix it on EE and Physics, but when I fixed it on EE (and yes, *unchecked* the "all communities" box), it spread to Physics (expected) and also Music (unexpected, since the topic has been locally edited here). I guess we have to wait for a code fix, and meanwhile, since everybody else got ... (more) |

Reopened. Thanks for editing; this is much clearer. (more) |

Instead of looking for a question almost nobody can access, could you instead ask the question that *you* want to get an answer to? I'm putting this on hold in the meantime; when you edit we can reopen it. Thanks. (more) |

My upvote is for having some way to type music inline; I don't know anything about MusixTex in particular. For larger things I'd probably use music software and upload an image, but I imagine it will be useful sometimes to include a short bit to illustrate one particular thing (a harmonic pattern, a...

Thanks @JirkaHanika! Having never played a bowed instrument where continuous motion was possible, I had no idea. It sure *looks* like it's continuous, but that must be the effect of skill -- as you said, approaching zero duration. TIL. (more) |
