NOTATIO

Is there any standard symbol that could be applied to a note (or stem) or between two notes that represents an irregular tremolo (=tremolo of varying speed)?

I know that it is not a "standard" playing of tremolo, but anyway..., an already used symbol in music literature.

The board was updated two days ago. A conflict occured beetween your browser's offline database storage (that consists of the old forum files) and rendering new data of the new forum. I got total panic also when I saw it for the first time...

Our member tisimst will perhaps answer to your questions. He is very experienced in FF. I personally would like to know more about creating music fonts in FF, since FF is really a great software, but I too experience many obstacles in creating fonts for Finale, Sibelius or smufl.

Hmm.. IF you have already done the score and if it is nice-looking, why not to keep it as it is and save time?

Agree. I will wait for Dorico when it fits my needs.

Yes, harpsi, or...what about dashed slurs, or dashed brackets connecting the voices?

I would want to keep them on separate staves. If you must combine, you could write the first note of the lower part as two tied :5 … that would at least give you stems. Tying the upper part doesn’t help anything. That is what I first had in mind, but didn't comment since Ben was asking for not chan...

I think nothing is unusual having the ending line cross multiple systems or pages. I am not sure in your example why is the line going behind the system's border - looks very non-professional. As the rule: nothing should pass over the far-right bar-line, except time signatures; and absolutely nothin...
