Re: Treatment of cautionary accidentals in modern critical edition
Would writing "Accidentals missing in the source and added by the editor" only in square brackets be a bad approach? Should they be "ficta" as well? Quite hard to do in a piano part if it is a chord where one note is missing the sharp, for example. If the accidental is obvious, ...

Re: Another Mozart Centered Beam
Yes indeed, very tricky questions. I guess the conclusion is that we really do not know, and that probably goes for beaming patterns in general as well. Working on old sources one might believe a certain beaming pattern really is important, just to see the exact same passage repeated later with a co...

Re: Another Mozart Centered Beam
What would be the reason for Bach to use a centered beam in bar 1 and not in bar 2? The music is the same.

Re: Classical concerto for double bass in MuseScore
Nicely done, everything is very clear. Anyway, some feedback and humble suggestions to improvements for the Oboe 1 part.
Maybe you could even consider fitting this music into three pages - right now the last page feels a bit empty.

Re: Dorico Pro 2 released
FWIW, the “optical” center for the dynamic letters is a human-decided horizontal position that is “embedded” into the corresponding metadata file of the chosen SMuFL font. Personally, I always thought that the optical centers in Bravura were a little off, as you’ve suggested, John. Because it’s par...

Re: Dorico Pro 2 released
If I understand you correctly about middle line stem directions, they can actually be set in the preferences to always point down.
I agree that the accent thing is bad. I solved that for one project by creating a custom playing technique with an accent always placed outside staff.

Re: Dorico Pro 2 released
To add to all this: We all have different demands, but personally I must say that the time I save using Dorico's superior layout features is worth every single little tweak I have to do, and for my taste I do not have to do that many. No doubt, I still have more control over small details settings i...

Re: Dorico Pro 2 released
First mov. m. 16 etc.: Stems down for the middle line note is the current standard practice, except when context dictates otherwise. It is my impression that in the 18th century, it was up stems for the middle line note in many musical circles. So I was assuming that Wesstrom was one of those. If D...
