Slurs direction in vocal music
I face problems with slurs that, by default placed under music, collide with lyrics (as in with low notes in Alto).

Re: Feature Request Forum at MM
I think everything depends on who uses what for what purpose. Today, I added one extra staff in a very large score.

Re: Feature Request Forum at MM

Re: 3 beaming choices
That is of course a great guideline.
But what is striking in Mozart's example is his break-rule attitude which results in poly-beat music, in fact, very contemporary, a Bartok-like way.

Re: 3 beaming choices
Mozart's example is totally amazing, thanks John for sharing that!
It is far more contemporary than I could ever imagine.
I agree - follow the manuscript. Some people will shake their heads, ignore that.

Because it is so slow tempo, all are possible. But I still like B, feels very "fluid".

Re: 3 beaming choices
I would go with B, a bit old fashioned.
However, if we know more about the instrument, tempo and style we would perhaps come with other solutions as well.
