Re: PPP

Can anyone translate the **) footnote in John's top image? It looks like it's saying something about ppp but Google Translate on my phone isn't too happy with it.

Re: PPP

ppp is listed in the Tromlitz flute treatise from 1791, so must have been in use by then anyway.

Re: circa

K. Stockhausen has something like 93.6 markings, I believe he wants to get EXACT tempo transition (ratio). I've seen way more decimal places than that in Film and TV work. I was in the "house band" for a Netflix show a few years ago, and we routinely had parts with multiple decimal places...

Re: Dorico v Finale advice?

Dorico staff have made some great videos ranging from very basic "what to do first" videos to ones covering more complex notation issues. I have to admit that a FEW of their videos are a bit lacking since the employee in question tends to get distracted by user questions (most of these vi...

Re: Dorico v Finale advice?

I still tend to hurl myself at things, so I *may* ignore the good advice of both of you and hurl myself at attempting this larger project in Dorico. I'll only have myself to blame if it fails. If you do decide to just jump in with a larger project, I would at least work through their published &quo...

Re: Specific chord voicings in a lead sheet

I did make an effort to find other solutions. What would be the "standard solution"? Ugh, sorry, I thought I responded to this, but I guess it didn't post and the draft didn't save so here's "take 2." Now that I see it, your solution actually looks pretty good! I would change th...

Re: Dorico v Finale advice?

Fred, would ‘Condensing Change’ be a possible way of dealing with Michel's problem here https://notat.io/viewtopic.php?t=990 ? It looks like a very useful facility, but no doubt it has its limitations. I don't think so. I think it's a current limitation of condensing when doubling players are invol...

Re: Dorico v Finale advice?

Staves are used in a variety of ways in my manuscript eg the four horns may be on 1, 2, 3 or 4 staves variously arranged, eg when on 2 staves the order might be 1, 2 and 3, 4 or it might be 1, 3 and 2, 4. I would definitely tackle a smaller project first. My very first Dorico project was a pretty s...

Re: Specific chord voicings in a lead sheet

Can you show an image of either what you are trying to do, or your solution? People have been doing variants of the "suggested voicing" thing for a long time. Perhaps if you shared an image it would be clear why you need a non-standard solution to this.

MuseScore 4.1 released

MuseScore 4.1 was just released.

The new Braille notation feature in this video seemed interesting:

Has anyone ever used Braille notation for music before? Just curious how common its use is.
