NOTATIO

Thank you MalteM, I like your solution with kneed beam the most. I will try this, the first one with the slur outside of the stems.

EDIT: by the way, where to put the hairpins? In the middle is possible, yet, not ideally.

The slurs are ugly whatever I do. Also it doesn't look good in general.

Any idea how it can be solved is welcome!

- support for custom lines, boxes and shapes.
- partial SVG export, and SVG export that gives 100% size (not 800%).

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...

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).
