Re: Old Music Standard
There's a world of Czech composers who would love their names to be in this font. Bedřich Smetana, Leoš Janáček, .... I'd also suggest that the <> glyphs are too large, compared to most other fonts. They are usually just big enough to 'enclose' the x-height. But a really lovely font. Thank you. Well...

Re: [OT] English terminology
Might be better re-phrased in the active voice, instead of the passive:
Each singer is expected to perform short notes accurately.... but the tutti sections should have an improvised feel, etc.

Re: [OT] English terminology
Accurate execution is expected (*) for short notes, particularly in chromatic passages, but is not required in tutti sections, which should have an improvised feel, similar to Eastern (*) religious chant. However, the pivot notes -- with long and accented values -- should be as precise as possible. ...

Re: Sotheby's - Music: Books & Manuscripts
The Morley book is very important too and there are a bunch of scans of it on IMSLP. While I was working at a book publishing firm about 20 years ago, I took advantage of their editorial and design resources, and produced my own edition of Morley's book. I typeset the text, with consistent spelling...

Re: Something in the works at Sib
To whom is it appealing? From couch to coffeeshop? Hm... Many questions, no answers. Notation apps can't afford to target only professional engravers. All kinds of people are writing (or want to write) all kinds of music. Teachers and students (from early years to post-grad); Pop bands, Jazzers, Ch...

Re: Something in the works at Sib
Yes, Sibelius launched their iPad app the same week as Dorico, by a complete coincidence.

Re: Dorico for iPad
Yes, there are several 'Easter eggs' in the form of new features that can only be accessed if you setup keyboard shortcuts for them. This included "Music transformation tools", which the latest release notes say have been removed, and will be restored when D4 is released. Also, a personal ...

Re: PDF printing oddity with hard space
So your PDFs sent to the printer looked fine, but the actual print ended up with the problem? It's almost certainly some kind of font encoding issue, which the printer's prepress RIP is having trouble with. Rinsing through PostScript still fixes many problems, as it has fewer parameters and options ...

Re: double-stopped trills
FWIW, Gould does not seem to offer an opinion on this!
