Re: [Dorico] Flat slurs

I totally agree with John here, in regards of slurs/beams and ..noteheads. I really don't think that the size of the notehead is more "visible" if they are used larger at small staff size, but the shape of the noteheads. What about Maestro at 25pt? Maestro has a flat area that has a greate...

Re: OS X Finale autosave script

I am happy to hear you have survived. Finale autosave preserves only one copy, unfortunately.
This app seems to be very good, thanks for sharing.

'Transfering' Finale's spacing into Sibelius

I am very new with Sibelius. I have tried to figure out how Sibelius calculate spacing but I am very unsure. Sibelius' default is very ...strange to me. Anyone here that can enlighten me how to cleverly edit Sibelius' spacing, for instance transfering Finale's Golden Section spacing into Sibelius, o...

Re: help needed with font

I think, Finale is unable to use that font. You might delete the font, and install it again. Can you use it in other applications?

Re: Tempo alterations font styles

I find this Berg example a bit confusing, but yet it is perfectly readable. Interesting. I'd wager that it's rather matter of preference than of it being right/wrong.

Re: First attempt on "serious engraving"

Do you print on other size than what music is? No4 has very strange margins, I guess it will be cut.
The ledger lines seem to be to bold for my taste.

Some objects I would consider re-positioning in order to get more vertical space, that applies also to the beams, stems.
