Re: Proofreading suggestions
Note that on page 73 of the Schirmer manual there are items specific to SCORE. This brings up the issue that some music apps have idiosyncrasies (ahem...bugs) that one needs to be aware of. For example, In Dorico there is a bug pertaining to divisi staves where the software may add extraneous natura...

Re: Placing of a clef change.

Re: Notating Alternate Sections
In the score, I would lay out each of the B sections one after the other, carefully marked to start at the beginning of a left page and end on a right page. Then the conductor can clip pages together to avoid the non-played section. You mean the librarian, of course! :) To the OP: You didn't specif...

Ugly slurs
Check out this excerpt from John Adams' Hallelujah Junction, most likely engraved with SCORE.

Have you ever seen uglier slurs?

Re: Scalable Vector Graphics (inkscape, illustrator)
@Octo: Very well said, and I agree 200%! Once, when I was an orchestral librarian, a composer submitted a work that had many of the problems you mentioned. When I pointed this out to him he replied that he couldn't be bothered with lazy musicians who couldn't figure it out for themselves, and that h...
