Re: SCORE 3.1 [Looking to Buy]

Re: An accent question, re: string writing

The first would be more intense, it seems to me. Since the marcato symbol implies a short note, I wouldn't think you need the dot.

This articulation is often seen in jazz notation.

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: 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.
