Re: 12/8 Question

I remember playing Wagner's Tannhäuser overture: in the first violins (and others as well) there is a place with falling :2 in enormous quick tempo, three or four pages, I can't remember now. We all players had beats written down, since just beats should be noticed, the :2 are to be filled automatic...

Re: Clef design comparision

For :t My favorites (in favorite order): 2, 5, 7. 2 and 7 are very similar. I have used mostly 2 and 5. 5 is somewhat small, but very balanced. I almost don't notice it - it can quickly be "digested"... If I can vote for the most ugly it is 3 and 4. 3 - very thin and "strange" in...

Re: Simplify notes

It depends of tempo. How quickly goes one :4 ?

I think it would go like that, but some experts in the baroque ornaments should confirm.

Re: No tiff-pictures

It is possible to embed:

.jpg
.jpeg
.png

All others extensions are possible to attach as documents, including .pdf .mus .sib .ai .zip an so on.

I highly recommend jpeg/jpg and png as embedded pictures

Re: No tiff-pictures

OK, because some of you have already uploaded TIFF, I will just enable TIFF as a document (=download only, not embedding).

Disabling TIFF

Yes, the same. It doesn't work in all browsers, NOT in Chrome and NOT in Firefox.

What we can do is to completely disable TIFF upload, and to have just safe files.

Or if anyone else know how to fix it, let me know.

Re: Quarter rest design

Interesting discussion. I would love for you to comment on the design of the rests from my own music font. Absolutely amazing. For me it looks like "softened Engraver" or "emboldened Maestro", but in both cases the soft edges, and good boldness makes it very pleasant. Here are q...

Re: Notational curiosity?

Hm... I would say the same. As composer myself, I tend to write something I shouldn't, but later on when proofreading I see something like that. I believe he wanted piano to wait somehow (endlessly) for cello to make ritardando... One thing I "feel" that happens is the following: the cello...
