NOTATIO

I presume, following Italian, that 'più piano' is quieter than piano, and thus 'meno piano' is louder; and the same is true for 'molto piano'. I'm looking for a 'warmer mezzopiano than we've just had' instruction. So più mp wouldn't be right, and meno mp seems counter-intuitive and open to rehearsal...

I would favour the slurs starting slightly earlier and finishing later than the tie, making the slur bigger, not making the tie smaller.

I guess there will inevitably be compromises using symbols designed for LTR the other way round.

I've got a working facsimile. Essentially, I created custom 'mirror' noteheads, and switch the stem positions. Then I exported to a graphics editor, and flipped the whole thing. Then flipped clefs, accidentals and quaver flags back again! image.jpeg Didn't notice the F clefs dots, though! Good spot.

Shamelessly stolen from Twitter, but I saw this. It's from the hymnal in St George's Anglican Cathedral in Jerusalem.
I wonder what software they used for that!

I've seen people suggest using Finale, by turning the page upside down, and using upside-down symbols!

There's an update to the November 2 font. The ottava numerals on clefs are now larger and more legible, and there are many new glyphs. If you've already purchased it, you should be able to re-download it from the KLEMM website, using the link and login details in your purchase email. New version is ...

Overture uses a SMuFL-ised Sonata, called AloisenU. I'd expect a new version of Encore to use a SMuFL font; though transitioning legacy documents would require significant work.

It seems like many people are aware that the available notation software isn't meeting everyone's needs. Many people? What do you base that on? I doubt that any software (of any kind) meets everyone's needs. There's a balance between the needs it fulfils, and the needs it doesn't. I may be willing ...

Don Williams seems to have bought back the rights to Encore, and will be releasing a new version in the Autumn. https://passportmusic.com I'm not sure what that means for Overture, his other notation app. We've discussed previously how the number of notation apps currently in development is surprisi...
