Re: Dorico Pro 2 released

It's very nice, Harpsi. I noticed some minor things that I will mention, on the assumption that it is an example of Dorico defaults, with the exception of the edits you listed. 1. Many of symbolized eighth note appoggiaturas seem a bit far from the principal notes to me. For example in the second mo...

Affinity Publisher Public Beta

Many have been waiting for Affinity Publisher as a replacement for InDesign, and a public beta has just been announced. I will wait for the finished product. However, I would be very interested in early impressions of Affinity Publisher from more courageous members of Notat.io, particularly as a too...

Re: Composers vs Engravers: Stems and Slurs part 10

At the end of the middle section of the etude, which is mostly in E, a resolution to C# minor leads back to the repeat of the opening section. Note the prominent role of the upper line, which leads back to the opening melody note C# in bar 5 of the example, while still functioning as a repeated chor...

Re: Dorico Pro 2 released

The steps in Finale were:
1. Add three guide lines
2. Click in finger numbers, elision and fingering bracket in layer 1, positioning with mouse
3. Click in finger numbers and elisions in layer 2 ditto
4. Draw two slurs and straight line as Smart Shapes
5. Final adjustment of all elements

Re: Short Slurs (Octaves)

You are very welcome, sethm. I agree completely with Schonbergian's principle that the slurs should always point to the note heads. It should be noted that Dorico's default style A in the OP is a legitimate way to handle this situation and often seen. However, I myself allow the slur ends to move aw...
