Music Glossary: [Page 39]

Hearing tendencies of 1–7 (leading tone, subdominant, dominant, etc.). more

Standardized fingerings for major/minor to free attention for phrasing. more

Distance from nut to bridge on a guitar; affects tension, feel, tone (e.g., 24.75", 25.5"). more

Anchor common scales/modes to MIDI notes & pads; label chord tones vs tensions for fast writing. more

Syllabic stress matching musical meter; avoids awkward lyric accenting. more

Fast, playful or driving triple-meter movement often replacing the minuet in symphonies. more

Boundary between modal region and diffuse field; above it, statistical reverb models apply. more

Standard vertical order of instruments in orchestral scores: woodwinds, brass, percussion, keyboards/harp, voices, strings. more

Dominant applied to scale degrees other than tonic (V/V, V/ii, etc.). more

V of a diatonic target (V/ii, V/vi) to tonicize non-tonic chords. more

Breakout by rhythm/vox/horns to solve role-specific issues efficiently. more

Writing for instrument families (brass, winds, strings) with idiomatic ranges, articulations, and blend in mind. more

Without/with mute indications; alters color and dynamics especially on strings/brass. more

Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Improving visibility in search results via keywords, structured data, and quality content. more

Serial compression shapes transients in stages; parallel adds body without squashing. more

Search Engine Results Pages. The pages returned by a search engine; placements include organic results, snippets, and video carousels. more

Incremental saves (v01, v02) and timestamped backups to revert safely. more

Keep a running log of takes, mics, and settings. Saves hours during mix revisions. more

Confirm sample rate, tempo map, track names, patch notes, and backups before recording day. more

Prebuilt routing, color coding, track types, and markers for fast starts and consistency. more

Prebuilt tracks, routing, and markers for repeatable workflows and faster setup. more

Plan peaks/valleys, tempos, and keys to manage audience energy. Keep transitions tight; script segues and on-stage roles. more

Sleep, warm room-ups, no shouting over noise, monitor mixes protecting ears. more

Recognize common pitch-class sets (e.g., 0-1-4) and their interval vectors. more

Test flow at rehearsal; mark energy curve changes, adjust keys/tempi. more

Energy curve: openers, anchors, dynamic mid-set, and encore planning. more

Relief, action, intonation, pickup height for playability and tone. more
