Re: More Dorico updates!

Yes, I agree with Ben. Notating the first page in Dorico would be a piece of cake, a matter of minutes. The second page would be fiddly, to be honest. I’m not sure if it can be done without faking the barlines. Once there is support for different simultaneous tempos, this too will be a piece of cake...

Re: More Dorico updates!

Oh dear, oh dear: why was Dorico not around when I started computer notation? I'm soon to be 78 and realize I simply can't face learning new software to replace Finale, but am instead frustrating myself trying to revise a huge - gigantic, 16 very large files - piece originally typeset in Finale 201...

It allows you to change the appearance of pretty much any symbol that Dorico uses in the score.

Re: More Dorico updates!

Dorico 2.2 has just been released.
Scope and quality of this update are truly amazing. An in-depth review will be published later today on Scoring Notes.

Re: Engraving in MuseScore

I'm just wondering what the text fonts are? (scherzando and arco ord.) The font is Nepomuk. OCTO, I see that you have used a bold version of Nepomuk for tempo text. I have never got around to creating the accompanying bold face, so Musescore falls back to synthesizing one, which is of course not id...

Re: New font for figured bass: Figurato

I can only insert individual glyphs in Finale because your combinations don't come up in Text>Symbol>Insert. I can view and insert all the combinations, however, in Indesign, because your whole font displays under glyphs. However different glyphs are inserted than one selects in the grid, for some ...

Re: New font for figured bass: Figurato

John, thank you for your kind words. I'm glad about your very positive feedback! I'm curious: at what size did you test the font? It's developed for use at 9/10 pt which is quite small and I found that the figures are easier to read when there's a bit of space between the components. I may be able t...

Re: Finale update

MM seems to have concluded that it can't compete with Dorico in the long run and will hold for as a long as possible by making a few less costly improvements from time to time. That would be most unfortunate! I don't see the Dorico developers stopping development anytime soon, but I can imagine tha...
