NOTATIO

By Abraham Lee? Actually, I didn't create it. It was done originally by Florian Kretlow and called "Sebastian". IIRC, it was encoded to work with Finale. I became aware of the font after Florian made it available under SIL OFL. I eventually proceeded to make a derivative encoding for Lily...

Some years ago there was a notation program named HB Music Engraver. It had interface issues and was not for sale for very long, but its output was nice. See http://www.classicalguitarschool.net/en/ for a number of free pieces for classical guitar done with it. Its default font, "Interlude&quo...

What are you referring to here? The LilyPond engraver didn't do the SCORE sample...

John, in the comparison thread you referred to, the SCORE sample is not the "normal" style of output of the program. We should get some input from Will Copper, who uses SCORE quite regularly. I can contact him, if that helps.

Thanks, John. I could have been more clear. We are definitely encouraged to express our opinions of the different engravings. What I meant to say was that the comparison was not designed to be a rigorous challenge of, for example, how much time it took to create them, amount of tweaks needed to get ...

Hmmm... I looked at your file and I couldn't see anything obvious that would be causing Finale to not see it. The only thing that I wondered about is the code point of most of your glyphs. Does Finale have full unicode support? Even if it doesn't, I don't know why that would cause problems. It would...

Sorry, but I think we've missed the point of this little exercise. This isn't necessarily a "challenge" between programs to see who is "better" or the most "correct" since all programs can output the same level of "correct", but rather an exposé to show how ea...

What is difference between these two files? I don't see any difference at all between the two. I even rotated the page so I could cross my eyes to see the difference (since I couldn't see anything different in the normal orientation) and I didn't see any aberrations in what my left eye saw vs what ...

OCTO, but what name have you given your font _internally_? Specifically, I'm looking for "Font Name", "Family Name", and "Full Name", as found in the "PS Names" tab of the "Font Information window. Maybe you could send me the file and I could just take a ...

I'm no expert pianist, either. Personally, I'm in favor of combining the dotted/non-dotted notes when the rhythm is obvious between the voices. In this case, I would say this is true. It also improves the layout and spacing when this is possible.
