Dorico sample.

This sample is mostly raw without any adjustments (except the slurs in the LH 1st measure). Once I learned the short cuts, the process went pretty quickly. I have to say, that for an application in its infancy, i'm pretty impressed. I know it has a long way to go, but I think, since Dorico doesn't h...

Re: Endings?

Thanks. I tried to look this up in Gould's "Behind Bars" but couldn't find a reference to it.

Endings?

I have a score with 3 movements. The last measure of each movement blends into the next movement so that all 3 must be performed to make musical sense.

Re: Dense page

I love this violin sonata engraving, it"s pure "Eye Candy". I'd wager that the formatting of this piece took a lot of thought. Well balanced.

Maestro font

Recently, I had to transcribe the same piece in Finale and Sibelius. I used Maestro in both. When I printed the music, I was surprised to see that the two fonts looked different. I guess way to describe it, is that the Finale maestro looked more eligant than Sibelius. I would have thought that the s...
