Re: Free irregular tremolo

Yes, correct. I think I will go with a symbol + explanation.

Re: Unorthodox stem direction

AFAIK, the slurs in vocal music covering one syllable is a common way to notate it. I think it is recommended in Gould. I guess that is because a slur means "don't take air!". Otherwise we would have tenutos, or separated phrases. I am not sure how it would sound without slurs... A good qu...

Re: SMuFL creation

Our member tisimst will perhaps answer to your questions. He is very experienced in FF. I personally would like to know more about creating music fonts in FF, since FF is really a great software, but I too experience many obstacles in creating fonts for Finale, Sibelius or smufl.

Re: Typsetting a large MS of mine from 1994/5?

Hmm.. IF you have already done the score and if it is nice-looking, why not to keep it as it is and save time? BUT if you really need it in Finale I would do the following - ONLY IN THE CASE your manuscript is well done by page. It means you have to work by copying each page first, and when done ONE...
