NOTATIO

I have the IM FELL typefaces (free downloads), which are similarly based on 17th Century Text typefaces. They would work well with Serenissima. Again, I only use them for simulating old pages and deliberate 'antique' effects. Scores are possible but very impractical due to the need for blank pieces ...

Someone has made a font that 'emulates' the moveable type used to print music in the late 16th and 17th centuries: not for your notation app, but in any standard word processor.

Still haven't increased the frame limit?

I suspect that if they didn't increase the frame limit when they created the new file format, nor when they changed all the data structures to 64-bit, that it's not going to improve any time soon.

Any more than that, and the staple buckles. If you're using thinner paper, you might get a few more sheets thro...

(m) under the note when you want humming to begin. So doo - (m) I would include the m in 'doom' as well as having it later. Underlay needs to 'show the word' so the singers can identify it, and only then 'show the place' for special effects such as this. I have seen stuff like 'pea - - - - - - - - ...
