Re: From Plate to Page with Dorico

A really beautiful job, benwiggy, and a great illustration of Dorico's capabilities. A few things about your version: 1. Henle uses a smaller size fingering for grace notes, which is very common. (I don't, however, because the small numbers can be hard to read.) 2. Dorico has trouble with the length...

Re: simile and sempre

I think it depends on the situation. If you feel that there is a danger of misunderstanding, write it out. If not, don't.

In the really old days, they didn't even use simile and sempre, but implied it. Then simile and sempre became necessary. Now...

They're out of stock. They must be a big seller at Walmart. :) The example given is the first page of Chopin's Waltz op. 64 no. 2 in C# minor.

Re: Augmentation dots

I think that it may be a matter of taste, since I have seen this done both ways.

But I would move them in. Dorico does this by default. And I would bring all the ties to the noteheads, threading them through and under the augmentation dots.

Re: Spacing problem

OCTO, the default version of Dorico offers the Bravura font and two sizes of noteheads, "default" and "larger". However, one can use noteheads, rests and augmentation dots from other fonts. So there is certainly the possibility of using noteheads with a different design for the s...

Re: Attribution and Use of Sources

Thanks, OCTO. So it is your impression that the content (not necessarily the image) of any public domain material that appears on the internet is available for commercial use. So for example, the autograph of a Beethoven work that resides at Beethoven-Haus may be consulted for the purposes of produc...

Attribution and Use of Sources

Does anyone know of a reliable source that explains the legalities regarding use and attribution of public domain online digitized sources in commercial publications? I am encountering a lot of confusing information on the subject. For example, some online libraries have claimed control over the &qu...
