Re: Page size order conventions

OK: Verdi, Giuseppi.

It seems to be common in formal and administrative use.

There's also the way that names are presented backwards in Italy: "Calogero, Salvatore".

Re: Page size order conventions

The X axis is the horizontal, and the Y is the vertical. It's traditional to specify coordinates as X, Y. (Indeed, that's why X is before Y.)

Re: Alternative to CutePDF - for macOS

Even the process of combining PDFs on macOS seems to be quite problematic, especially if the document is lengthy and takes ages to complete. You can combine PDFs with the "Create PDF" Quick Action in the right-click Contextual menu. They will be combined in the order that they are listed,...

Yes, it's an orchestral score, so fairly small.

Re: SCORE terrible glyphs

You can see the same 'steps' on the curves and 'bite-marks' in Partita. Georges at MuseGraph spent a lot of time smoothing the curves, as @odod has done, on Vienna.

The clef is very well balanced, but some glyphs, like the C time sig, are not very nice, IMO.

Re: MTF Fonts noteheads displaying as symbols (Finale 27)

Remember that fonts on Finale underwent a major change to the "SMuFL" standard in 27. The expected glyph positions are all in different places. You can create new documents using the "Legacy Defaults" template documents in the Setup Wizard, and they should work. Abraham Lee doesn...

Re: SCORE terrible glyphs

Yes, but these aren't fonts! They are drawn.

And the text in the PDFs is perfectly fine vector.

SCORE terrible glyphs

In a discussion about SCORE on the Dorico forum, some examples of material generated by SCORE were shown, and I was quite surprised how bad the forms were. Possibly because it was originally written for pen plotters, everything was a line, and it looks like anything round was made by a fan of lines,...

Re: SCORE Music Publishing System VS. Graphire Music Press

Because Apple deleted support for Postscript in macOS versions greater than 12 (Monterey), Sheepshaver-WP now handles printing and PDF creation for newer versions through the Ghostscript program, included with this distribution, which either makes a PDF on your desktop or prints your file.
