Re: Most popular engraving programs?

BTW, the examples above are done: 1. Schott in SCORE Are you sure? The example from Odod looks like the "SchottMusic" font in Finale, but not the SCORE font. BTW, Schott seems to have a dedicated Finale and a dedicated Sibelius font: Finale: https://web.archive.org/web/20160412145338/http...

Re: The treble clef as handwritten by great composers

Odod, this really looks great! AFAIK the only font that comes close to this handwritten look is Max Keenlyside's "Rodgers & Hammerstein" font (Download: http://www.maxpiano.ca/Handwritten.zip ). But R&H doesn't look so elegant, it's more the handwritten Broadway scores style that i...

Re: Spacing with chord symbols

Good point! Especially when you use the same slash symbols as noteheads for the rhythm notation.

Re: Spacing with chord symbols

Fred, thanks for your input! I think your system 3 and 4 are both good and valid solutions. On a big band standard or leadsheet (which even usually is in 4/4), I'd prefer system 4 where (nearly all of) the slashes have the same distance. If it has many time sig changes, system 3 might be better to t...

Re: Spacing with chord symbols

Maybe the score looks untypical because you have so many collisions on just a few measures, but this is typical for a test score that demonstrates a problem. Still the problem is the same when you only have one collision per page: you have to decide what to do with the spacing. And if you look at a ...

Re: Spacing with chord symbols

>it does seems strange when a chord symbol runs into a resting measure A good aspect! So one could even differentiate between the Cmin7 in measure 2 and in measure 6. Haven't thought of that. As for the other things: I didn't mention it, because I thought it was obvious that is just a test score for...

And another spacing issue that I am working on for my plugin ... what is your preferred way of spacing chord symbols? Here are four screenshots with critical spots marked: 1.) Finale's default spacing without chords enabled 2.) Finale's default spacing with chords enabled 3.) Plugin solution 1 (&quo...

Re: Spacing problems with unisons

Here is the solution that John was referring to (I think).
I edited the beat chart for 2nd AND 3rd note. It's much more difficult to get good results like this, but it looks better than image 3.
