Re: SMuFL font comparision
The thing that sticks out to me the most is the appearance of the relative size of the half notehead versus the quarter notehead. Even though I know some half noteheads are exactly the same size as the quarter notehead, they all feel smaller, which doesn’t seem right to me. It’s an unusual circumsta...

Re: Alternatives to Adobe Creative Cloud
Inkscape 1.2 now has multi-page support. This allows you to import/export an entire PDF or a single page. It’s not perfect, but definitely a good and much needed step for the app.

Re: Beethoven brainteaser
I'm no expert, so this is just a guess, but could it be because the remainder of each measure is simply ties and nothing more? By comparison, there's no need to show the center of the measure for the dotted whole note in the first measure. Is this an appropriate exception?

Re: Flat beam question
Convex vs concave doesn't matter much to me. The group is *trending* downward, so I'd slant the beam downward, at least a little. Doesn't really matter what happens in the middle. Here's what my brain sees: beam-group-showing-trend.png This doesn't mean that I'd slope it that much, but *something*.

Re: Flat beam question
I wouldn’t use a flat beam. I’ve always been in the camp that the beam should trend (i.e., slant) with the trend of the notes. The level of slant is debatable, but I would do *something* since it gives the eyes a cue of what the notes are *generally* doing so I can anticipate it. This is very import...

How on earth did the graphics person not ask a musically inclined person if it looked "right" or not? My brain hurts... thanks a lot, Fred
