Silverman" Many folks have shown their heads recently, describing themselves as "Partch experts" as far as having played in his ensembles etc. Why is it that whenever I have a question about his instruments, nobody responds to my queries? Here is my newest question: in Intrusion 3 (The Rose), Adapted Guitar II has ratios *only above* the tablature to mark stopping by the sliding bar. In the next Intrusion (The Crane), ratios are found above, plus parenthetical ratios are below the notes. I am especially having trouble figuring out which octave is being used, as he was lax in "boxing" the ratios to represent the upper 2/1. Can someone who has played the Adapted Guitar II answer these questions?
