Re: Dorico development issue
I've always (since my teens in the 1950s) labelled instrument changes twice. Initially at the first available rest with ‘take Cor Anglais’ (or whatever) and then again (without ‘take’) immediately before or at the first playing of the new instrument. I can't remember which orchestral player advised...

Re: unison wih different value noteheads, question
If you're worried, you can add a sharp in parentheses below the lower note's stem.

Re: circa
K. Stockhausen has something like 93.6 markings, I believe he wants to get EXACT tempo transition (ratio). For me that's a reminder of the sad times when composers tried to be scientists. As if being a musician wasn't enough. For every composer that tries to reinvent notation my response is always ...

Re: Dorico 5 released
I've been working on a revision of one of my pieces, and have just finished the short first movement. Is there a trial version of the latest Dorico available for comparison yet?

Re: circa
I believe that C would be the most "correct*" but any of the above should get the message across without question.
*Abbreviations where the ending letter of the abbreviated form matches the unabbreviated term do not require a period (full stop), and foreign words should be italicized.

Re: Dotted minim (half) rest?
I agree with John; the dotted half rest feels confusing here.

Commentary on crowded page
Hi folks,
In my work Three Divertimenti for Oboe and Orchestra I have the following (attached) page of score.
I tried my best at getting everything to fit to the page (11" x 14"), but it's still very dense. Does anyone have suggestions or other commentary to provide?
Thanks!

Re: one Dorico "Defect"
In Finale, I would create 3 staves — Piccolo (placed at the top per convention), Flute 2 (placed below Flute 1), and then the Flute 2/Piccolo staff (this is the staff that I would use for the part). The Piccolo staff would be hidden when the player is on Flute; the Flute staff would be hidden when t...
