Re: SCORE terrible glyphs

I believe you can choose the number of vector nodes in SCORE itself, because not all SCORE made scores look like this. Also, the laser print jet can "round" the vector graphics and these mistakes actually vanish. And yes, SCORE doesn't use fonts at all. It uses the vector graphic output wh...

Re: Hierachy of text expressions

yes, that's horizontal, but if they need to be placed vertically? am I to presume that the order would be highest to lowest (from left to right in this list)? so: Tutti div. arco sul pont. ? Yes, I think this is a good way. And it this order, because we go from general to more specific instructions...

Re: Scores in C or transposing?

I think I may be misunderstanding the "laziness" comment. Yes, that was indeed a bit awkward. Just learn damn transposition. It is as difficult as learning riding a bike. Octo, why so harsh on us who haven't got your speedy uptake? I learned how to ride a bike when I was 7 or 8, but still...

Re: Scores in C or transposing?

The laziness of this topic equals learning G clef only and expecting everything else outside it to be written in octave (8va).
The bass clef is visually transposed G clef, and vice versa.

Just learn damn transposition. It is as difficult as learning riding a bike.

I guess when a transposed score looks like it sounds, you are definitely a good score reader.
The transposed score does sound as it looks!

Re: Scores in C or transposing?

Once he also said that his own music has changed since he started using a notation software for composing (or it was Digital Performer?). Some great composers hate transposed scores. Prokofiev hated all kind of "useless constrains" that didn't result in a plain output. He notated the Engli...

Re: First MuseScore experience

I think that MuseScore can produce an exceptional good output. There are many things that I miss in MS4 but there is one thing that all other programs (Finale, Sibelius) lack is: "move an item and keep it there until I touch it"—setting. My journey you can see here: https://notat.io/viewto...
