Re: Encore back from the dead
Overture uses a SMuFL-ised Sonata, called AloisenU. I'd expect a new version of Encore to use a SMuFL font; though transitioning legacy documents would require significant work.

Re: Encore back from the dead
It seems like many people are aware that the available notation software isn't meeting everyone's needs. Many people? What do you base that on? I doubt that any software (of any kind) meets everyone's needs. There's a balance between the needs it fulfils, and the needs it doesn't. I may be willing ...

Encore back from the dead
Don Williams seems to have bought back the rights to Encore, and will be releasing a new version in the Autumn. https://passportmusic.com I'm not sure what that means for Overture, his other notation app. We've discussed previously how the number of notation apps currently in development is surprisi...

Re: Finale 27.3: plug-ins
Honestly, as many of us have used (and relied upon) these plugins for some time, it would seem to make sense to keep them as they currently are: Long-standing users have nothing to fear. MM has, ironically, always been reluctant to implement change. :lol: The question is whether Finale's UI is an o...

Re: instrument names in score
I suspect it's just down to house style. The early 18th-century Italian sources I deal with tend to use plurals or singulars accurately, e.g. Violini, Bassi, Oboi; but Violino solo, Flauto, Tromba, etc. Interestingly, voices are always singular -- Canto, Alto, etc, though that doesn't necessarily me...

Re: Dorico 4.2 released
Indeed, I'm very grateful for many of them (not least of all the independent scaling of accidentals). I wasn't suggesting that engraving has been overlooked; I was, in a clumsy way, trying to anticipate the area in which other features might be forthcoming...!

Dorico 4.2 released
Dorico 4.2 has just been released: the main features are the addition of the percussion editor as part of the new Key editor toolkit, and the ability to copy MIDI edits when copying notes. There are the usual plethora of minor tweaks and fixes. (More punctuation, including elipses, are now ignored w...

Finale 27.3: plug-ins
MM have issued a blog about the 'forthcoming' Finale 27.3, which they say will include a number of Jari Williamsson's plug-ins, by default. These will be ARM-native for Apple Silicon Macs. https://www.finalemusic.com/blog/sneak-preview-plug-in-with-finale-v27-3/ While this is good news, it doesn't r...

All seven of Lotti's operas!
I have finally finished my editions of all seven of Lotti's surviving complete operas. In 2009, as part of my PhD research, I began typing in the arias and recits from Teofane into individual Finale files, leaving me with the problem of how to assemble them into a complete score. "Some time pas...

Finale 27.2 with Sebastian and Golden Age SMuFL
I've been testing and refining my* SMuFL fonts, Sebastian and Golden Age, on Finale 27.2, and fixed a variety of local issues. Most of these were to do with 'baseline' positioning, e.g. where the glyph sits in relation to other objects, to make everything sit correctly with the defaults. So they sho...
