Talk:D-flat major

Image links
30-May-2007: In 2006/2007, Wikipedia images required both attributes "thumb|250px" to show a caption, as in:

By itself, size "250px" ignores the caption "My picture" (confusing many people), which is considered bad form in computer languages (should warn & be corrected rather than ignore). Just remember to include "thumb" for a caption in an image-link.

Image hints in 2007: Overall, omitting "thumb" is the most common problem.
 * Limit most images to "thumb|300px" to avoid crowded text-wrapping.
 * A small image followed directly by a big image often chops text.
 * To resize larger than the original ("oversizing"), omit "thumb" (oversized images cannot have captions in 2007, yet).
 * Beware "left|thumb" (for "right|"), because left-side images appear immediately to left of the text.
 * Most images (99.99%) should be quick JPEG for rapid display.
 * Avoid resizing PNG images (2007): might become 10x larger resized.

There are many formatting issues in the Wiki software (used worldwide), with a long list of problems to fix, but in the software world, errors often persist, only to be upstaged by a totally radical new software version, rather than just fixing the irritating problems fast. Note that numerous software systems (not just Wiki) have frustrating issues for years. -Wikid77 16:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

is Db a good key for vibraphone played wit four mallets? -15Oct2005

7 different notes in a scale, hence only 7 flats in D flat minor (tonic and octave are same). -15May07
 * No. D-flat minor contains six flats and a double-flat (on B𝄫). Hence, it has 6 + 2 = 8 flats. Double sharp (talk) 08:41, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

" ... making it less convenient to use.'

Convenient in what sense? Too much clutter in the score? Sdgard (talk) 03:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Double-sharps and double-flats are not normally used in key signatures; in some cases (like selection in software) it may not be immediately possible even to use them. So it's inconvenient. It is hard to think of more to say that would really help. Imaginatorium (talk) 03:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
