Music Glossary: style

Consistent extensions/alterations syntax (e.g., Cmaj7(11)/C); avoid mixed systems. more

Consistent fonts (music/text), sizes, spacing, cues—your publishing template. more

Consistent rules for fonts, note spacing, slurs, articulations, and rehearsal marks across all parts. more

Genre-typical kicks (four-on-the-floor, DnB syncopation, trap doubles). more

A strong, marked accent (ˆ) combining emphasis with separation. more

Short, detached notes marked with dots; degree of separation is stylistic/contextual. more

Stepwise dynamic changes rather than gradual swells; common in Baroque style. more

Set retune speed tastefully; slower for natural phrasing, faster for robotic or creative effect. more
