 Every musical example in this new, digital edition now utilizes only treble and bass clefs. Ironically, by transcribing all of Cherubini's examples into these two "standard" clefs, my own familiarity and efficiency with the //alto// and //tenor// clefs has improved beyond my wildest dreams. Every musical example in this new, digital edition now utilizes only treble and bass clefs.

-Digitizing all the musical examples also provided me the opportunity to clean up some issues with the original scan, such as notes that were difficult to read. Surprisingly to me, I was also able to fix dozens of typographical errors, both in the music notation and in the prose.+Digitizing all the musical examples also provided me the opportunity to clean up some issues with the original scan, such as notes that were difficult to read.

 The software that I used to engrave all the musical examples in this book is [[https://musescore.org|MuseScore]]. Though my students have been consistently using MuseScore for the last seven years or so, I've tended to cling to my beloved Finale(tm) for my own projects.

-Thanks to scripting, once I engraved each individual example, I could simply move on to the next. After I completed all the examples in a single chapter, then it was time to run my script to automate all the tedious aspects of turning the scores into audio and images, +Thanks to scripting, once I engraved each individual example, I could simply move on to the next.

 **Media players**: The main advantage of this book is the addition of media players for each musical example. Textbooks on music, even so-called "modern" ones, lack the ability to play the musical examples straight from the page. Usually the process of hearing a musical example in a textbook involves fumbling with a CD/DVD, logging into a specific web portal from the publisher, or just giving up and searching the Internet.  **Media players**: The main advantage of this book is the addition of media players for each musical example.
