Re: Right to left music
I've got a working facsimile. Essentially, I created custom 'mirror' noteheads, and switch the stem positions. Then I exported to a graphics editor, and flipped the whole thing. Then flipped clefs, accidentals and quaver flags back again! image.jpeg Didn't notice the F clefs dots, though! Good spot.

Right to left music
Shamelessly stolen from Twitter, but I saw this. It's from the hymnal in St George's Anglican Cathedral in Jerusalem.
I wonder what software they used for that!
I've seen people suggest using Finale, by turning the page upside down, and using upside-down symbols!

November 2 update
There's an update to the November 2 font. The ottava numerals on clefs are now larger and more legible, and there are many new glyphs. If you've already purchased it, you should be able to re-download it from the KLEMM website, using the link and login details in your purchase email. New version is ...

Re: Encore back from the dead
Overture uses a SMuFL-ised Sonata, called AloisenU. I'd expect a new version of Encore to use a SMuFL font; though transitioning legacy documents would require significant work.

Re: Encore back from the dead
It seems like many people are aware that the available notation software isn't meeting everyone's needs. Many people? What do you base that on? I doubt that any software (of any kind) meets everyone's needs. There's a balance between the needs it fulfils, and the needs it doesn't. I may be willing ...

Encore back from the dead
Don Williams seems to have bought back the rights to Encore, and will be releasing a new version in the Autumn. https://passportmusic.com I'm not sure what that means for Overture, his other notation app. We've discussed previously how the number of notation apps currently in development is surprisi...

Re: Finale 27.3: plug-ins
Honestly, as many of us have used (and relied upon) these plugins for some time, it would seem to make sense to keep them as they currently are: Long-standing users have nothing to fear. MM has, ironically, always been reluctant to implement change. :lol: The question is whether Finale's UI is an o...

Re: instrument names in score
I suspect it's just down to house style. The early 18th-century Italian sources I deal with tend to use plurals or singulars accurately, e.g. Violini, Bassi, Oboi; but Violino solo, Flauto, Tromba, etc. Interestingly, voices are always singular -- Canto, Alto, etc, though that doesn't necessarily me...

Re: Dorico 4.2 released
Indeed, I'm very grateful for many of them (not least of all the independent scaling of accidentals). I wasn't suggesting that engraving has been overlooked; I was, in a clumsy way, trying to anticipate the area in which other features might be forthcoming...!
