NOTATIO

I can't answer directly where to put it in the band score, but another issue here is a comma – do not use it for the staff names.

As far I can suggest, the only other solution is to hide fewer empty staves in the relevant systems when this happens. At least you'll have staves and rests filling the page. That is an interesting option, indeed. But doesn't empty saves mean "someone has to play" at the beggining of the ...

When orchestral forces change from busy to loose, what is best way to deal with loose pages? I have systems which cannot be compressed to get two on one page, but when having larger distances between staves, in order to cover the whole page evenly, it looks bad (music looks unconnected, to loose, un...

Thank you, Ben! As far as i remember, Finale had about 10 years ago very heavy staff/stem lines. Personally I disliked it, but recently, I think about v2011 or later, they changed it to very thin. Now, the default in 2014 is very thin. Interesting, "European" style has more difference betw...

What are line thickness in different software by default? LP, Sibelius, Dorico?
In mm or similar.

For a stave of 6,7mm, line thickness 1,25sp - do you think it is thick?

Here is an earlier thread: https://notat.io/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=51#p660 What I can see, Peter W and Wess use 0,1 spaces for staff lines, correct? Than, what happens with reduced staff? Should it not be more bold? If we have 0,67 cm staff size, what would be a good frame to have staff line sizes?...

Are you able to do by your hand a copy of it (or similar to it)? I am not sure how it would look like, but that sounds very contemporary for the Baroque area. Very interesting, indeed.

Just to clarify, the natural is just a cautionary accidental in this case, right? The performer would play the upper note diatonically anyway if nothing was notated, correct? Coming from an E in the previous measure, an E# would be somewhat less common I suppose (and D#-Eb obviously not possible), ...

Thanks for the info, David. OCTO. there is a bug where all the notes and markings disappear when you try to move the staves with the staff tool, if there is a lot of text in the file. This was confirmed yesterday by MM. Disappear? Permanently as it is deleted, or just visually on the screen? And wh...

Thanks for your suggestions John. The mordent is upper, double. I have these many; so I prefer, to save space and get clearer score, to use these instead of written graces. I struggle with graces in Finale. And yes, that is a short diminuendo. I should definitely use another symbol, more hairpin loo...
