editMemories Song David guetta feat Kid Cudi
editHi there, does any one know what is the name of the pretty girl in the videoclip which is walking along in the video and shoewd very often?--Poker chip (talk) 21:33, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- The Internet Music Video Database page on it doesn't list anyone in the cast except David Guetta and Kid Cudi. Our article indicates that random fans and models were invited, so this is looking like a needle in a
haystackstack of needles situation. Do you have any other information, such as a timeframe of when her face is clearly shown? Ian.thomson (talk) 21:57, 11 October 2014 (UTC)- hi, sure, if you have the original videoclip with 3:29 / 3:30 minutes, you can see her on 0:33 (in Words: zero min., 33 sec.) and on 0:55 and 1:18 to 1:20. Just for the begining. You can see her more often.
She looks like an Asian and like a famous Star, I can´t tell you which person looks like here .. --Poker chip (talk) 03:56, 13 October 2014 (UTC) no Ideas? --Poker chip (talk) 17:55, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- She doesn't appear to be famous, she just dresses that way. Otherwise there'd be some record of her elsewhere. Or records of her in the video itself. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:06, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Musical staff sizes
editThe documentation of my DAW (Cakewalk Sonar) tells me that musical typsetting come in various sizes: "Engravers have nine standardized sizes of the five-line staff. The vertical distance between the lines of each staff is called its rastral size, or measurement. Each rastral size has a number and is used by publishers for a specific genre of musical composition." and then gives this sort of table
Number | Trade names | Genre usage |
---|---|---|
0 | Commercial or Public | Wire-bound manuscript |
1 | Giant or English | Elementary band and orchestra books; instruction booklets |
2 or 3 | Regular, Common, or Ordinary | Sheet music for concertos and classics |
4 | Peter | Folios, works for organ, etc. |
5 | Large middle | Band/wind ensemble music; sheet music |
6 | Small middle | Chorals; condensed sheet music |
7 | Cadenza | Pocket editions; cues in piano parts; military marches |
8 | Pearl | Thematic advertisement; ossia |
What my documentation gives me is clearly insufficient. They don't give the actual distances and do not answer obvious questions such as whether these formats also define the vertical distance between staffs and not only the vertical distance between the lines of each staff (as one imagines they reasonably should).
But I have not been able to find any information about these sizes (Pearl, Cadenza, Small middle, etc.) in WP (for example at article Staff (music)) or elsewhere on the Web in expected places (such as the Lily Pond documentation). Do you know where I could find reliable authoritative definitions of these formats?
Thanks

- This forum posting gives the appropriate details, cited to this book (Behind Bars, Elaine Gould, Faber Music, 2011). Tevildo (talk) 22:43, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the answer and especially for the very useful book reference. Does seem like an authoritative source. Thanks again. Contact Basemetal here 02:11, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- Btw (for the benefit of other readers as from his answer it's clear Tevildo knows) I realize now these sizes only concern the staff, not the score as a whole. Score formats might or might not also have specific names, but that's something else. Contact Basemetal here 02:11, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
