    The given answers are surely correct. But could we also ask what sense it makes a) to notate it b) to put the paranthesis as the left hand has nothing else to fo?

My guess (I cannot really see the notes for the upper voice): The same note is already played by your right hand. Both voices share the same note but it obviously only needs to be played once. That's why it is written in brackets for the left hand.

Your image is clipped, but I'm guessing the top note is two ledger lines below the staff?



That would make the right hand note A. The A in parenthesis is telling you it's the same note as the left hand top staff line. So it's an optional way to play it, using the left hand instead of the right.

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

            Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

            1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
