NOTATIO

Has anyone tried Overture 5? It claims to be by the team that wrote Encore, but in a brand new version this year. The crossgrade price is quite reasonable.

I've been testing the demo version of Dorico, creating a new piece in parallel with one in Finale. Note entry is a little bit tedious, with a few more keypresses per action. Everytime you select something in the palette, Dorico sounds the instrument. So, choose a note value: Beep. Load a dot: Beep. ...

Technically, you can put an augmentation mark on any number, though their usage may be rare, and there are variants on the augmentation mark style.

Well, I've created a "clean" version of the font, fixing all the errors that Fontforge flagged. I didn't make any kerning alterations, and I'll adjust my existing documents. For reasons that need not bore you, it's not that much of a job to adjust the chord suffixes. Thanks for the advice....

What constitutes a pair, exactly? Do I have to do it for every combination of two numbers?

I think it would probably be quicker to adjust the chord suffix libraries.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a remedy for this problem on the font side of things, except modifying the font, substituting zero width glyphs for negative kerning pairs, which of course is a lot of work. Well, I only use 1-9 and the augmented numbers 4+, 6\ etc, so it might be a possibility...

It's simply a display issue at > 300%. They re-appear with a Redraw, but won't appear as you scroll around. The document prints fine. MM have confirmed to me that it's Finale's problem with displaying characters that have zero width. I don't mind changing my existing documents, but if there's an eas...

I've been using the Sebastian Figured Bass font, which is available here: https://github.com/fkretlow/sebastian However, when I use it in Finale, the numbers disappear from the screen when I zoom in to more than 300%..! I've discovered that the reason for this is because the characters have zero wid...

well, in my settings I reduced it to only 2 EVPU. why? just type 4 eight's with an accidental in one of them, you'll see that in not so much crowded score the spacing between them is changing because of the accidental. Yes, I certainly think that different values work better for different types of ...

If you've locked the systems, it doesn't affect the pages. I think that what it does is to give more room to things that are close together, at the expense of things that are further apart. So in the example above, the minims get less space and the beamed notes get more.
