NOTATIO

I have an older Windows machine that the kids use, which has CutePDF installed. It's highly efficient for three main tasks: Combining PDFs (e.g., consolidating multiple documents into one file). Adding pagination (either as a header or footer). Protecting files (restricting opening or printing). Wha...

@benwiggy what is the staff size of the example with tie? Looks to me as a very small staff (because of the tie's curves).

Once he also said that his own music has changed since he started using a notation software for composing (or it was Digital Performer?). Some great composers hate transposed scores. Prokofiev hated all kind of "useless constrains" that didn't result in a plain output. He notated the Engli...
