Terrific, odod. I assume that you are working your way toward having all the text look handwritten, including text expressions, tempo markings, title, composer etc.

I love it, odod. Fantastic! I think you need to complete this for sale to the public. The text font needs to be handwritten too, of course, but you are probably working on that right now. :) Sorry, again, odod. I actually didn't understand about the "more symbols" but sent you the link any...

A remarkable case of note placement between the staves. Why doesn't the distribution of chords 5 and 6 match 1-4 and 7-9? Chopin op 25 no 7 note distribution.jpg From the musical point of view, the first measure tries to end on the chords in the third measure, but the second measure interrupts. This...

Sorry, odod. The clef looks fine. I thought OCTO was suggesting creating a whole font based on Arensky's handwriting, not just the treble clef.

I agree.

I will try to make this Interesting. Has anyone ever tried to make a font that imitated a single composer's handwriting? This could be a first. odod, in case you haven't found it yet, I took the example from http://ks.petruccimusiclibrary.org/files/imglnks/usimg/7/7b/IMSLP106655-PMLP15702-AArensky_...

Thanks, Knut. The change in workflow probably wouldn't bother me either; in fact, it would be interesting to try something new, but, as you say, it's results that count. For that reason, the items you listed completely rule out Dorico for me at this point, unfortunately.

You are very welcome, odod. Please do continue to post your work and questions; it contributes a lot to this forum.

Thanks for those examples, Schonbergian. The Rheinberger is, as you say, a smart use of instrumental notation in vocal music. Vaughan Williams seems to be indicating breathing places with his slurs, since they often occur in places where they are not obvious. But the following is very strange. Is a ...

Personally, I've never had that problem with Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and any other composer that's used slurs in this way. If the music is well-written, the phrases will come out naturally. Exactly. That is why these composers never needed to put in phrasing marks. However, they were writing in ...
