NOTATIO

I took the plunge and downloaded the trial. I like the whole 'ethos' of the application, but there are design decisions I don't like and cannot see past to work with. And I just can't work with an application where the default output is - in my eyes - wrong. I'd be interested in doing further work i...

When using the new divisi feature, Dorico cannot add sub-brackets to, say, a divided Violin 1 section. Daniel Spreadbury has acknowledged this to me (in a comment on the Scoring Notes blog). This is one area where Finale outshines both Sibelius and Dorico. Are you saying if I suddenly have 3 solo v...

I also want to see how movement titles are handled in parts when they occur in the middle of a page. So many things I need to see before I even consider learning this program. There are lots of videos, but they all seem to be at such a superficial level that they don't really give information a powe...

Lots (and lots) of talk about scores, but I've yet to see any part samples coming from this product. Anyone using it care to share?

Thanks for your arguments. This is a modern classical work; after weighing the options I ended up using "on cue" as is.

Thanks!

I agree, but I'm trying to avoid using multiple mixed languages in the score. So my choices are Italian (all of the tempos and tempo changes), or French (the title pages, movement list, instrument names). I suppose French would work okay.

Hi folks, I'm drawing a blank... can anyone give me a common Italian musical term that indicates to the performer to play something "on cue" / "when cued"?

Because the instruments are like and the range of the parts cross frequently, it’s really not obvious moment to moment where the lead voice is; it’s not always the highest part.

Howdy, I have an ensemble of like instruments where the "lead" voice moves around the ensemble freely (and sometimes quickly). I had been thinking of using Hauptstimme markings (with brackets showing the end of the "lead" passage), but am now second-guessing myself. As a performer, I definitely woul...

Howdy, do any of the standard included Finale fonts include the Hauptstimme (or Nebenstimme) abbreviation symbols? I peeked through the viewer and found nothing, but just because I didn't find it does not mean it isn't there...
