NOTATIO

Interestingly, Prokofiev notated the English horn in alto clef—not because he wanted to change history, but because he thought it looked better! However, this was only in the score, and he orchestrated everything in C.

Congrats!
Still, pity that it is out of print.

You have improved greatly your score, thanks to John and Fred.

One thing: why does the last page have a white bottom page. You need to spread the measures to fit it to the bottom. Either to reflow the spacing of the last page to get more systems or to increase spacing between the current systems.

Hello! I was wondering if I could get some guidance on underlay in divisi staves where the rhythms differ. My current solution is as shown below, but I was wondering if there was a convention I missed somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks! Screenshot 2024-10-04 at 12.39.38 PM.png...

This I wouldn't recommend.  For other instruments, you can do it, but on the other side you have to be consequent, which is more difficult.

Dorico?  Wow, congratulations!

I've always had trouble with the viola and its alto clef.  Having two ledger lines for first position on the A string is already more than "enough" for me.  I've always felt that the viola should be notated in mezzo-soprano clef, and it would resemble the violin notation perfectly. Regardi...

Knut was once very active on the forum, but hasn't posted for 6 years.  You might send him a private message—if it helps!

If it is not a "tautology", as David suggested, just use again "f"—it will not make more damage!

I think, for running Finale, you don't need a very strong computer.  I have had a laptop connected to the external monitor and keyboard for years and it worked well.

Well put, benwiggy.

I think... I need to go through all my Finale scores, proofread, fix mistakes, and create the final PDF scores/parts.  Not that I am afraid I will not be able to open, but I am afraid I will forget all the commands and workarounds.  Sadly, I am using Sibelius now.
