Technical Questions
- Why aren't fixed width fonts working consistently?
They seem to work in Firefox, but not in Safari.
- Why do extra line breaks plague my pages?
This tends to be a problem with pre-formatted text. The source sometimes shows extra <pre></pre> markups distributed liberally though the content; if you delete these, the problem goes away.
Syllabi
Anyone have syllabi for their H&C recitations?

Subject: Re: [Smt-talk] Free Digital Music Theory Textbooks?
Re: Dmitri's comment that 'There's a need for a small, readable textbook (100-150 pages) that explains the relevant material concisely and clearly.'
For a semester course in (mostly diatonic) harmony, I have assigned my students an ancient text (still in print for ca. $9.00): Frederick Horwood's Basis of Harmony (1948: it used be required of conservatory students here, mostly of high school age). It's a paperback that fits easily into a back pocket or purse, and students actually read it. The standard terms and rules are presented as well as some idiosyncratic notions. Since I stress the consequences of note choices (rather than slavish adherence to rules) and since the Horwood text provides very little in the way of explanations and has no examples of real music, the book tends not to stand in the way of my teaching or their learning.
