Re: My current Sibelius slur settings
As an unedited example, it is excellent, achieves your stylistic goals, and is probably good enough since there is always a little hand work to be done here and there. Good to know in case they continue to "improve" Finale to the point where I too can't use it any more.

Re: My current Sibelius slur settings
Thanks, OCTO. It is very nice. The basic slur shape looks better than Dorico to me and more like FInale. Maybe Knut will comment on it. I would make the fourth one on the middle staff bow out a little more to take it away from the middle note. All of these programs have problems with a steep series ...

Re: My current Sibelius slur settings
The proof is in the pudding, OCTO. Could you post an example? I am interested to compare them with the Dorico slurs with which I am presently involved.

Re: So what is generally considered the best all-around Beethoven piano sonatas edition?
Great question, and I will attempt to restrain myself. I assume that you know about Schenker's theoretical work. What is often not known is that as a very fine practical musician, his primary aim was interpretation and composition. He felt that the nineteen century had misunderstood what had been ac...

Re: So what is generally considered the best all-around Beethoven piano sonatas edition?
Heinrich Schenker's edition, now very inexpensively reprinted by Dover, has the most natural and musical fingering and the best help with ornamentation etc., and is the one that I require my students to use. It was one of the first practical editions to make serious use of the original sources and, ...

Re: Henle Blog and App
Thanks, Schonbergian. There is a new post on the Henle blog in agreement. Perhaps others will express their opinion. Here is a golden opportunity to express how one feels about the quality of their current engraving directly to Henle...

Re: Pitch bracket notation
This system flies in the face of Western musical notation starting with neumes. Since the 1200-year interaction of our notational system with the development of our music has made the two inseparable, all attempts to severe them have and will fail.

Re: Musicwriter - in use throughout the world
I think that the slurs were probably pressed on with Notaset for short and medium and drawn with instruments for the longer and more complex ones. But I never got to that far...

Re: Henle Blog and App
I just responded to the two comments on my critical post at:

It seems doubtful that Henle would use an army of freelancers, but if there are only three engravers on staff, they are working very hard!
