Re: SCORE 3.1 [Looking to Buy]
:???: I stand corrected. "SCORE: Makes Finale look effortless." :lol: There's a reason that programmers don't write in Assembler anymore, but use higher-level code that can construct abstract concepts. Computers should be here to save us from tedious repetitive tasks, not to give us more o...

Re: Logistics of writing an opera
From what I can gather, it doesn't seem that Jerry Springer was asked for permission to use his name in Jerry Springer, the Opera.

Re: SCORE 3.1 [Looking to Buy]
I've recently been in contact with a publishing company about doing some engraving work and the owner wants me to try and get SCORE 3.1, as that is what they prefer to use. Software is transitory, like life itself in this mortal realm. Any company whose business relies on software that is legally u...

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.
