Music Glossary: advanced

Consistent pre-rolls or verbal cues that lock the band and playback. Document them on setlists to avoid trainwrecks. more

Small-note passages copied into parts to aid counting during rests and improve entrances. more

Place dynamics under the staff (vocal above lyrics), align hairpins with events, and avoid collisions. more

Contour across sections via touch, muting, and density; crescendos by addition, not just volume. more

Global defaults for spacing, fonts, slur shapes, and collision avoidance to speed consistent output. more

Consistent placement and awareness of spill/phase. Combine DI + mic wisely; mark positions on mats/tape for repeatability. more

Training beyond 12-TET: quarter tones, spectral relationships, set-class hearing. more

Trills, mordents, turns with clear symbols and accidentals; provide editorial notes for style-specific execution. more

Brief meeting to note fixes, celebrate wins, and assign actions. Capture changes to set files, patches, and stage plots immediately. more

Arranging where performers stand and move so the audience and cameras see clearly. Avoids dead zones and improves energy. more

Line check first, then musical check at show volume. One player at a time unless asked; keep noodling minimal and productive. more

Number and bracket tuplets where needed; do not break tuplets across beams without clear context. more

Control proximity, plosives, and dynamics; work the capsule angle for tone and feedback rejection. Practice with show volume. more

Clothing that supports movement, quick changes, and pack/wire routing. Avoid noisy fabrics and consider camera/lighting. more
