Re: Flat beam question

I wouldn’t use a flat beam. I’ve always been in the camp that the beam should trend (i.e., slant) with the trend of the notes. The level of slant is debatable, but I would do *something* since it gives the eyes a cue of what the notes are *generally* doing so I can anticipate it. This is very import...

Re: Dorico slurs and beams

Fred, that’s a rather unsavory discovery. There was always something that didn’t quite look right to me and I think this must have been it. The curve shoulders visually always stuck out just a little bit more.

Re: Tertiary beams: a case for widening/thickening?

Re: Tertiary beams: a case for widening/thickening?

Personally, I think you’re on the right track because it keeps it from drawing unwanted attention. I agree that something about that beam group doesn’t feel right between the ...

Re: MEZZO & MEZZA my new SMuFL fonts

“No glyph” is a filler symbol to say that a glyph doesn’t esoteric at that codepoint in the font that the software is trying to access. Perfectly normal, though I can understand if it was unexpected.
