Re: Flat slurs

Hi Peter, for years I created complete flat slur (tie) font, however it is useless for more situations because of two main and few another reasons: 01. it is flat all the time.

Re: Flat slurs

The real solution — that means without any extra work as adding 2 slurs joined by straight line, or custom font as Peter mentioned ("DSE ... 01b" – which I created for Durands some 4-y.ago) would be if Finale slur allows adding an extra anchor point. 6 instead of 5. This will be an adventu...

Re: VIDEO: Resized staff and symbol sizes

Here is the second Video. It is dedicated to the so called "Rounded ledger lines". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3pHmVgzI4&feature=youtu.be This video is not slowed down. I am very tired at the moment and that is why the gesture of the mouse are not very precise and a bit shaky. In...

Re: Resized staff and symbol sizes

Thank you your positive attitude, JOHN and OCTO, right now I am preparing a short video tutorial how to do this. Once the PS file is ready the whole procedure is almost 2 minutes including saving the new file. About the roundness – this is another trick performed in Illustrator, but everyone can app...

Re: Braces

Dear John, I lead an attempt to solve this issue and here it is. PIANO BRACE 70% staff.png And now you can see how it works. Both staves on a grand staff are close enough. Even though there are no significant distortions. However, if you go to opposite – applying huge distance between both staves, t...
