Re: MuseScore 4.2 Released

MuseScore goes into the right direction.

The only things I am missing right now are:
- support for custom lines, boxes and shapes.
- partial SVG export, and SVG export that gives 100% size (not 800%).

Re: Centered beam in Mozart

It could be also that the first thing he wrote is the last two measures (without the first beat when "piano). He could imagine a cadence before, wrote finishing phrase of two voices. And then proceed with writing the tuplet in the first measure (of the example). Of course, you explanation is al...

Re: Finale 27.4 released

Many thanks to all, it was interesting to read. The only thing that has kept me away from Dorico is the "critical mass" of available copyists. Today one can find very talented copyists using Sibelius, competing and so keeping the prices down and availability up. Also, I have been working s...

Re: Finale 27.4 released

For you all from Finale, and now using Dorico, how easy was transition? Do you like the output? MichelRE John Ruggero I am working now on a piece done in Finale back in 2018. I have to edit and enlarge it quite a lot. There are numerous instances of extended techniques, hiding notes, nested tuplets,...

And Staff lines?
Finale Default is notorious for its very very tiny templates (lines).

Re: fingered tremolo

In your example: https://notat.io/download/file.php?id=4002 - the first viola, first slur is a typical Finale (and other software) slur appearance: the slur's direction is downwards and the notes are going upwards. That could be edited. - the second viola, the slur can cross the flat's symbol stem. ...

Re: Finale 27.4 released

I have just opened a Finale file in 3 years (of trying Sibelius) and I am - lost. I have forgotten it totally.

Re: What a difference a line makes!

It is occasionally asked whether lyric extension lines serve any useful purpose -- and sometimes one sees scores that don't use them. I recently had to sing the following**, where the words "Christ" and "Christ-mas" were both used in melismas; so you had to decide what vowel you...
