Re: SCORE terrible glyphs

@benwiggy what is the staff size of the example with tie? Looks to me as a very small staff (because of the tie's curves). Yes, it's an orchestral score, so fairly small. right, that's why SCORE makes it look so "bad" when zoomed in. SCORE actually rounds vector points to the closest adju...

Re: Alternative to CutePDF - for macOS

I see. 200€ for a PDF application that will put page numbers seems overkill. I might just go to Windows for that purpose (a bit awkward).

have anyone used the online version of CutePDF? It can do the same things online.
Acrobat can't do everything, you still need a sub.

Alternative to CutePDF - for macOS

I have an older Windows machine that the kids use, which has CutePDF installed. It's highly efficient for three main tasks: Combining PDFs (e.g., consolidating multiple documents into one file). Adding pagination (either as a header or footer). Protecting files (restricting opening or printing). Wha...

Re: SCORE terrible glyphs

I believe you can choose the number of vector nodes in SCORE itself, because not all SCORE made scores look like this. Also, the laser print jet can "round" the vector graphics and these mistakes actually vanish. And yes, SCORE doesn't use fonts at all. It uses the vector graphic output wh...

Re: Hierachy of text expressions

yes, that's horizontal, but if they need to be placed vertically? am I to presume that the order would be highest to lowest (from left to right in this list)? so: Tutti div. arco sul pont. ? Yes, I think this is a good way. And it this order, because we go from general to more specific instructions...

Re: Scores in C or transposing?

I think I may be misunderstanding the "laziness" comment. Yes, that was indeed a bit awkward. Just learn damn transposition. It is as difficult as learning riding a bike. Octo, why so harsh on us who haven't got your speedy uptake? I learned how to ride a bike when I was 7 or 8, but still...

Re: Scores in C or transposing?

The laziness of this topic equals learning G clef only and expecting everything else outside it to be written in octave (8va).
The bass clef is visually transposed G clef, and vice versa.

Just learn damn transposition. It is as difficult as learning riding a bike.
