Remember that fonts on Finale underwent a major change to the "SMuFL" standard in 27. The expected glyph positions are all in different places. You can create new documents using the "Legacy Defaults" template documents in the Setup Wizard, and they should work. Abraham Lee doesn...

Yes, but these aren't fonts! They are drawn.

And the text in the PDFs is perfectly fine vector.

In a discussion about SCORE on the Dorico forum, some examples of material generated by SCORE were shown, and I was quite surprised how bad the forms were. Possibly because it was originally written for pen plotters, everything was a line, and it looks like anything round was made by a fan of lines,...

Because Apple deleted support for Postscript in macOS versions greater than 12 (Monterey), Sheepshaver-WP now handles printing and PDF creation for newer versions through the Ghostscript program, included with this distribution, which either makes a PDF on your desktop or prints your file.

Yes, I similarly made two posts about problems that were addressed within a week -- Selecting the whole Flow and Resetting Appearance/Position is much faster; and a bug affecting Elision slurs on lyrics was fixed. If you use the SE or Elements version, and click on the "padlocked" menu com...

Interestingly, I've just found an equals sign in parentheses (well, several of them!) in an OUP score.

I guess it's a bit similar to how singers used to sing from 4 different clefs, and if you needed to pitch your next entry by reference to another part, you'd have to read whichever C-clef was being used on each staff. But these days, most singers would at best only be able to sing 'relatively' from ...

"Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu."

Look it up in a good English dictionary. If it is there, it is part of standard English. If not, check online. It may have entered the language recently. The OED lists 'adieu' as being in common usage these last 600 years, so I'd say it's just about bedded in by now. In a passage like this Even if ...
