Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
I actually thought about doing this: op 31 no 2.3C.png but Im afraid that this one and your second example would be anachronistic. Concerning your first example, I was trying to keep the beams clear of the staff lines as much as possible for fear of making it hard to read. The stems on the bass note...

Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
Thanks for your input, Wescott I will definitely consider that in deciding whether to relegate to a footnote or not. This is a practical edition, not a facsimile. A couple of questions. Are you OK with ms. 71-72? And what do you think of the beam slants etc. in original edition? That's up there earl...

Re: Spacing problem
The perfect storm for layout. 1. Reduce the note size for the roulades? 2. If this is the only such measure and the next measure is not as full as the previous one, this measure might move to the next line. Then the previous layout would be reworked. 3. You probably considered a divided measure. It ...

Re: Feedback on music typeface
Congratulations on your font! I think that you have accomplished your goal and produced a beautiful font in the process. I am no expert on fonts but everything seems to be in order. And your treble clef is one of the best I've seen. Also the flagged notes and rests. The engraving itself is excellent...

Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
I did it to preserve Beethoven's notation in as clear a way as I could, because I think that it is important for the reasons I mentioned. In my opinion, no alternate notation really conveys the correct meaning. Breaking the beams in particular is very misleading. I have sometimes been forced relegat...

Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
Thanks, Wescott. That's an interesting idea that works well for cases where secondary beams are available. And a current engraver might very well make use of it here instead of centered beams or complete beam breaks. In fact there are many places in Beethoven's piano sonatas where later engravers ha...

Re: Dorico 5.1.30 update
I was amazed to see that my suggestion regarding input of repeat marks at the end of one system and the beginning of the next had been implemented in the recent update, exactly 28 days after the initial post. What a team! What software! "Systemic barline" sounds strange and somewhat medica...
