Re: FontForge and Finale
OCTO, but what name have you given your font _internally_? Specifically, I'm looking for "Font Name", "Family Name", and "Full Name", as found in the "PS Names" tab of the "Font Information window. Maybe you could send me the file and I could just take a ...

Mastering Rachmaninoff
I'm no expert pianist, either. Personally, I'm in favor of combining the dotted/non-dotted notes when the rhythm is obvious between the voices. In this case, I would say this is true. It also improves the layout and spacing when this is possible.

Re: FontForge and Finale
Have you tried changing the encoding to be "Macintosh Latin"? That's what Maestro is encoded with. You could also try the more common "Unicode, BMP" or "Unicode, Full" encodings. I'm not familiar enough with how encodings work to know why it would make a difference, but...

You mean, your piano can't do that? That's too bad

[puzzle] Slur solutions 3
This slur challenge came up on the "Music Engraving Tips" (or MET) Facebook group today from a real-life scenario: [puzzle] Slur solutions 3 - LilyPond.png This is LilyPond's best attempt at the slur. Not sure how I'd improve the situation. What else do you think could be done to improve/b...

Re: Repeated tone abbreviations Part 2
Ok. Anyone interested can get the files here. Below are two sets of files. One that goes -45 to +45 in 1 deg increments (so, 90 total shapes) and another that goes from -20 to +20 in 1 deg increments (so, 40 total shapes). Each file contains the four previously mentioned "styles": 1. su ( ...

Re: Repeated tone abbreviations Part 2
tisimst, will the sides of the slashes remain perpendicular to the staff lines for all degrees of tilt? These seems highly desirable to me, and I thought I saw this in your LilyPond example as well. The script I've got can do the following: 1. Just shear it like the beam 2. Sheared, but with thickn...

Re: Repeated tone abbreviations Part 2
Looking at it very casually, it seemed that beams have approx. a 45 degree limit in both directions, which presents an approx. 90 degree scope. Wouldn't every angle need to be taken in to account = 90 glyphs? Regardless of how many you need, this would be very easy to generate using a simple script...
