Hi, I am very torn about how to notate a piano figure of a simple piano prelude I wrote. Below are four screenshot snippets of the figure in question (the entire prelude is made up of such figures). Can someone help recommend the best approach or suggest an improvement? I can forward source for any of them if anyone needs it.
#2 - treble clef (sample of those four bars in a different file)
Of the four, #2 is the version I prefer. BTW, you don't need to specify fingerings for every note. The initial "3" is certainly sufficient for the melodic line (and, in any case, the pianist might choose to change fingers on the last E.)
This is perfectly readable too, and might be chosen based on the context.
