Accent placement

I have trouble with placement of the accent. In Finale by default it is placed outside of the staff. There are many recommendations for that.

Tempo alterations font styles

I can consult Behind Bars, but I want to eventually get more information from your experience. In Finale, the default tempo alterations (rit. accel. a tempo...) are TNR italic 12 pt. I find it to small, conflicting with expressions (the same font and size, and particularly in vocal music when expres...

Re: Alignment of grace notes

I see. Maybe the sfz should just be placed under the main note.
And this is the default Finale output. Definitely some kind of editing is needed there, I am not sure which one, perhaps to compress everything to the left. This one looks surprisingly inconsistent, almost that they don't play together.

Alignment of grace notes

Should grace notes be aligned? Particularly it is visible if a dynamic symbol is attached.

What you claim to be a generally accepted fact is, actually, a highly dubious minority view.
Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks for pointing into this. True, they are just rumours, not based on my knowledge. I will definitely make a research now.

Re: Should a musical quote be acknowledged in score?

I think that if it is not obvious, than it would be very nice to provide that information. Anyway, I believe that font should be definitely different from all music fonts (perhaps size or boldness). It should not distract musicians in any means. I also believe that in the score only is the way to do...

Re: My Accidental Glyphs

For me, balancing the weight between all accidentals (and the font in general) is of the utmost importance to a pleasant reading experience, even if this means compromising on horizontal space efficiency in some cases. This has nothing to do with mathematics, and everything to do with perception. A...
