Staff line thickenss - again.

Here is an earlier thread: https://notat.io/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=51#p660 What I can see, Peter W and Wess use 0,1 spaces for staff lines, correct? Than, what happens with reduced staff? Should it not be more bold? If we have 0,67 cm staff size, what would be a good frame to have staff line sizes?...

Re: 16th century keyboard notation

Are you able to do by your hand a copy of it (or similar to it)? I am not sure how it would look like, but that sounds very contemporary for the Baroque area. Very interesting, indeed.

Re: Positioning of objects

Just to clarify, the natural is just a cautionary accidental in this case, right? The performer would play the upper note diatonically anyway if nothing was notated, correct? Coming from an E in the previous measure, an E# would be somewhat less common I suppose (and D#-Eb obviously not possible), ...

Re: Excess verbal information?

Thanks for the info, David. OCTO. there is a bug where all the notes and markings disappear when you try to move the staves with the staff tool, if there is a lot of text in the file. This was confirmed yesterday by MM. Disappear? Permanently as it is deleted, or just visually on the screen? And wh...

Re: Positioning of objects

Thanks for your suggestions John. The mordent is upper, double. I have these many; so I prefer, to save space and get clearer score, to use these instead of written graces. I struggle with graces in Finale. And yes, that is a short diminuendo. I should definitely use another symbol, more hairpin loo...

Re: Excess verbal information?

In my scores earlier I have used prefaces to explain all in detail. Now I use "foot-notes" (precisely attached to the stave under, not page), so I never forget what I would have written if I woul have made a preface. Also, musicians get very quick explanation of what should be done. I pref...

Re: Positioning of objects

Thank you David, your first solution is preferable.
I might use another approach, maybe placing sul pont. below the staff. That is not ideal at all. I will test it.

Re: Clutter?

Here is one of these clutters that actually is perfectly clear to perform. http://notat.io/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22 Not sure why, but sometimes dense pages make more sense than loose. Maybe I cannot call it clutter! 2. Parentheses around (8)--- when the marking extends over to other systems. I've ...

Re: Regular and doubling instrument information

I have another problem.
I have 3 bassoons.
- Bassoon
- Bassoon / Doubling Contrabassoon
- Contrabassoon

What should stay in the score when having 2nd bassoon that doubles CBsn., and the third bassoon which is CBsn.?

A bit of thinking, or perhaps I am so tired of this deadline so I can't think!
