The Notorious Notations (A Series of Unfortunate Events - Blank Journal)

HarperFestival, 2006

The Notorious Notations
As a big Lemony Snicket fan, being thirteen, my opinion may not matter much to anyone who reads it. However, I, like Klaus Baudelaire, have read many a more books than the average man reads in a lifetime. Having the reading comprehension of an adult, I say the book was utterly Snicket, a phrase here whitch means "Nothing less than expected of this wonderful, and slightly misunderstood, author." ...

How to Read Music: Fundamentals of Music Notation Made Easy

Three Rivers Press, 1995

Fool not to own one
After reading some of the foolish comments by some of the "reviewers", here's the honest truth. This is ONE GREAT LITTLE BOOK! It's amazing that so much can be packed in such a short package, but this one does it. Forget about the staff/stave BS. It's irrelevant. I may say quaver or semiquaver half note or whole note. Who cares? If you are this picky then you shouldn't be learning to read music ...

The most renowned book on musical notation

Norton Manual of Music Notation

W. W. Norton & Company, 1987

great
I found particulary useful the advice about how actually to draw musical symbols, and I enjoyed reading the chapter on "Popular-Music Notation", which really has to do with special notational practices for film, television, and recording session use,--although I happen to have no need for this sort of thing myself. I have one small objection to lodge, however: the author uses the word "meter" ...

BERKLEE COLLEGE -LICENSED, 2007

Preparing Scores for Beginners
The book 'Music Notation Preparing Scores and Parts' was obviously for a course offered by Berkleemusic Online. And that was my only objection to the book. The information was rudimentary and would make a good reference or workbook for a musician that is just starting out to learn orchestration and part writing. I have a four movement symphony under my belt so I was looking for something more ...

This is not just a book.. it's a complete COURSE on Finale. It is structured like you are in class, so it progressively introduces you to the program. Constantly reviewing and reinforcing what you ...

What can you say about Jim Blinn?
I am a graphics book addict, but few produce changes in my code. I passed his clipping method around to the team and we are starting to change our pipeline. We were clipping to polys in a portal engine. The new idea is to clip to a bounding rectangle FAST and let the new hardware zbuff the rough edges. His books have these sort of 'GEMS' that you might use the week you get it.
