Re: Beaming conventions

Actually, MuseScore 2 can do with less edits. I counted EACH item that has to be moved, yet these can be multiple selected and edited with ONE command.

Re: Dorico

I was a beta tester—focused on SMuFL and non-Bravura fonts. That might partly explain why I didn't make the cut. :) I haven't been chosen for the Beta either, despite my several-years correspondence about the future application with Daniel. I have pretty high needs for my publications and perhaps I...

Re: Free music fonts

Hi Octo, thanks for your hints. Here are my comments. Thanks for that. I have some knowledge about OTF and TTF difference, however how it impacts just Finale is primary to me to know. Any further development in font compatibility for Finale across OSes would be good, since many work in team with di...

Re: Cautionary clef when strings divide?

Yes, tricky. The best solution is not to make the system break precisely there. If you must (as it is now), I believe you need to make one measure more divided already in 3 with correct "cleffing". EDIT: Oh, I remember now, I had exactly the same problem once. As far as I remember I used b...

Re: Beaming conventions

It depends. I don't know how that examples were done - if they were imported by music xml. To not going to the details, LP has for my eye the quickest response and easiest to sight-read. If MS gives the same output than, with its GUI alternative to LP, strikingly better than any other commercial sof...
