Re: Proofreading Questions
My practice thus far is to proofread at the piano on hard copy only after the piece is completely done. I seem to catch things better than at a desk. Wonderful. The playback can check almost only the pitches. What about missing hairpins, missing slurs... Playing the score is one of the most crucial...

Re: Proofreading Questions
Here's Ted Ross's proofreading system (which I have used quite successfully): Thanks for sharing that. Of course, some of these are a bit outdated with the digital engraving, but anyway good to keep in mind! I always compose by hand and I have a copyist that does the basic job for me. So I use foll...

Re: Durand's 'highlights'
I find the Russian edition Muzgiz also very accurate, ...but not so beautiful.

Re: RE: Re: Note spacing - voice collision in Dorico et al.?
BTW, my question about the spacing of seconds have thus far been ignored by the staff on the Dorico forum. This leaves me a bit worried whether they actually intend for Dorico to handle these situations similarly to Lilypond or not, that is: correctly or incorrectly, at least in my personal opinion...

Re: Font feedback
Consider for example: … instead of: I think your both version of numbers are very beautiful, and can be used as a text font in (my) scores. The open 4 variant is more "old" looking, and closed 4 variant is more after 1900. I would rather use the closed, more straight variant in my music. ...

Re: Staff Rastral sizes in Digital Engraving apps
I'm not sure I follow this. I am sorry if my english is not on the level of what I want to explain. And what I explain, I hope I am not mistaken. This is just a pure calculation and improvisation: Looking at long, thin hairpins we can easily see "breaks" even in 1200dpi printers. It is re...

Re: Staff Rastral sizes in Digital Engraving apps
One of the possible functions that the rastral sizes could have in the digital engraving is determination of the laser printer fixed outputs, conformity with printers. You can have power of 300, 600, 1200, and so on dpi print outs. And this is very important with lines. In Finale you can have ANY li...
