Re: Drawing treble clefs
Great tips from Abraham as always ;-) Though a beginner with designing treble clef here my tip: study the available Fonts Load several G-Clefs in layers of your Font program in order to compare what the font designer did. I posted a svg (which can be loaded in a font program) of my take on Saties ha...

Re: The treble clef as handwritten by great composers
This wondefull thread inspired me to practice
Here is my first take on the Satie G-Clef:

Re: Examining an old Baerenreiter score
... can you in Dorico choose another font for a selected measure, staff, system? That would be wonderful if possible. For instance, the reduced staff would have bolder noteheads, or entire emboldened font. It is possible and not too difficult in Dorico to change the noteheads of selected notes. You...

But what about the opposite, i.e. several words written under a single note?
Is there a coined term too?

Re: Stave size for a study score?
Maybe the following information can help you. I looked at the few study orchestral scores I own and here are the results: Maurice Ravel - Boléro (Durand) 2,8 mm Maurice Ravel - Concerto pour Piano et orchestre (Durand) 3,2 mm Respighi - Pini di Roma (Ricordi) 2,8 mm Mussorgsky-Ravel - Tableaux d'une...

Re: Two-note stem-side slurs and Elaine Gould
Thanks teacue. Are these settings for two note slurs only? 2.5 setting is good, but I would not want it to apply to three or more-note slurs. There are settings for "Short slurs" and "Long slurs". Post an example with three or more-note slurs you would like to see and I can try ...

Re: Dorico 3.1 released
One of the new feature I really welcome is Master Pages export/import. It will save times and it allows to test different master pages layouts. I am a bit disapointed with the added functions for the guitar diagrams. The added functionality is great but I still miss fingerings (either at the bottom ...
