Re: More Dorico updates!

How do you enter these numbers now? etc. OCTO, I think I answered your question about my method of adding fingering with an example at: http://notat.io/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=386&start=40 http://notat.io/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=386&start=50 As far as I know, given the response to my query,...

Re: More Dorico updates!

Benwiggy, it is clear that the Dorico team has an ideal relationship with users and is very responsive to most requests. However, in this case, less so. Several months ago I described how difficult is was to accomplish complex piano fingering in Dorico with an example: https://www.steinberg.net/foru...

Re: More Dorico updates!

John R - There's improvements to Fingering, which may be helpful. The pace of development by the Dorico team is remarkable, and the new improvements to Dorico tempt me to give it another trial to see if I can use it. However, it wasn't clear to me from the review that it is possible to notate sever...

Re: Engraving in MuseScore

OCTO, I was able to draw this using the line tool in Finale without "very large lines above the staff." "very large lines above the staff" are the way how MuseScore creates a line. Sorry, OCTO I misread the original post and thought you were referring to Finale. MuseScore would ...

Re: Engraving in MuseScore

Using a normal line, what we have in Finale, is also awkward, since it adds a very large line above the stave, so I need to resize each of them. Any change to the measure length misplaces the lines. I will try to find a solution by using a large zig-zag line. OCTO, I was able to draw this using the...

Re: Engraving in MuseScore

OCTO, the MuseScore looks perfectly acceptable to me (except for the treble clefs :) .) But the dashed lines do look a little strange. Can one change the settings for those? I do like the spacing of the first three measures in the LilyPond better from the purely visual point of view, although I thin...

Re: Engraving in MuseScore

That's really nice, Pierre. And so is the font. The left side of each slurs could be closer to the beams. And the trill accidentals look a little large to me. Are those things adjustable?

Re: Beauty in a digitalised world of music copying

I don't think it's perfection that makes great art David, I agree. Perfection doesn't make a work of art great, and there are a lot of flawed masterpieces. My very point was that perfection in itself could even be a negative, but in the case of Mozart isn't, because there is so much else going on. ...

Re: Test topic.

Sorry everyone. I figured out what it was. This forum doesn't allow one to place single quotes around a word within a phrase in double quotes, at least when the word is at the end of the phrase so the single and double quotes are next to each other. Obviously, I can't post the example. I eliminated ...

Re: Beauty in a digitalised world of music copying

Philosophical musings: 1. The actual rules used by humans are so much more complex with a lot of ifs as OCTO puts it, than those that are programmed into even the most sophisticated software. For this reason, computer output tends to look cartoonish and over-simplified. For example: compare the look...
