94.161A practical arranging pass

After your notes are finalized, do a separate touch pass.

For every section decide:

  • foreground voice
  • background level
  • articulation
  • pedal amount
  • bass weight
  • melody projection
  • dynamic trajectory
  • release behavior

Do not leave these to accident.
