NOTATIO

That's not great support. Firstly, even if Times is missing, it shouldn't cause a problem with selecting other fonts that are installed. Secondly, recommending some random free font site, is not good practice, as those sites tend to be sketchy and of dubious legal status. The font they've recommende...

I seem the same behaviour, John, so it may be a bug.

Thanks all. "A lot to think about." I'll probably just say mp for everyone, and trust in a choir's natural tendency to get louder.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen something like 'più f' following piano, but only following something like forte, so slightly overlooked the completely relative aspect.

It's probably safer to use absolute terms. Thanks.

I presume, following Italian, that 'più piano' is quieter than piano, and thus 'meno piano' is louder; and the same is true for 'molto piano'. I'm looking for a 'warmer mezzopiano than we've just had' instruction. So più mp wouldn't be right, and meno mp seems counter-intuitive and open to rehearsal...

I would favour the slurs starting slightly earlier and finishing later than the tie, making the slur bigger, not making the tie smaller.

I guess there will inevitably be compromises using symbols designed for LTR the other way round.

I've got a working facsimile. Essentially, I created custom 'mirror' noteheads, and switch the stem positions. Then I exported to a graphics editor, and flipped the whole thing. Then flipped clefs, accidentals and quaver flags back again! image.jpeg Didn't notice the F clefs dots, though! Good spot.

Shamelessly stolen from Twitter, but I saw this. It's from the hymnal in St George's Anglican Cathedral in Jerusalem.
I wonder what software they used for that!

I've seen people suggest using Finale, by turning the page upside down, and using upside-down symbols!

Could you help me with some examples for ties engraving rules?

Here's a previous thread with some Sibelius slur settings and discussions about them.
