NOTATIO

I have just opened a Finale file in 3 years (of trying Sibelius) and I am - lost. I have forgotten it totally.
Still not yet tried Dorico.

To my eye, the second example was immediately easy to understand.

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...

The arched bow's hairs were kept taut by the player's thumb and loosened when performing chords. Numerous depictions from Bac...

In both cases you will hear a very similar sound, but MAYBE I would guess that the grace note has risk -- if it is what you want -- to be played before the beat. In the literature we can find so many different types, it is impossible to give a definitive answer. There is a very beautiful chord in Ys...

Agree with Anders as well. Unison playing doesn't mean "single voice". In your case it is "two voices divided".

Yes, I guessed it was the correct way, however NONE of the available notation software respect this rule. There are other issues with the example above.
