Re: Clef design comparision

And now I would like to share with you guys, my favourite G-clef. G-clef Font Vintage 3.png ______________________________ Can you guess who is the publisher? BTW, the staff lines drawn in grey are very, really very close to the original (as width) —> 0.09 — 0.114 space. ____________________________...

Re: Various Line Settings

I think that this direction (using "space" as units for measuring lines) is not perfect. From one hand all the music we input is locked to the scale factor and space is good solution. But the reason of my hard objection is based on the next facts: all sheet music utilise only the so called...

[Lilypond] Numerous Questions & Thoughts

@Pierre @tisimst @Knut and all other colleagues who work mainly with LilyPond: I have a very sincere question to you friends: "Why do you prefer LilyPond since there are many other application – most of them you know for sure and even better than me, because I specialised only in Finale?" ...

Re: Staff line thickness

Dear John, all values in both (screenshots) tables I've attached are in centimetres and they refer for 7 mm staff hight, however the same settings work rather well with 5 mm staff too. As Peter West suggests, for very tinny staff (4 mm) the value advisably could be multiplied by "1.25" Bes...

Re: [Tutorial] Flat slurs in Inkscape

Dear OCTO, Thanks for this video tutorial. I hope it will be very helpful for most of our colleagues. I would only add, that this procedure must be done once the complete score has been proof read and finally corrected. In case one day you need to fix some notes and so on, the better solution is to ...

Re: Fantastic old scores' simulation + fonts

Dear tisimst, I have seen your font, of course and analysed it, though I am mostly Finale user. Talking about your "Beethoven" font and considering that you work on Lilypond, I do respect the convenient way you can insert 75% size mid-G-clef (special shape!), that in Finale of Sibelius mus...

Re: Fantastic old scores' simulation + fonts

Dear Octo, thank you for your contribution and positivity at my huge work on this Henle-like font. About the software:  Finale (2012) for input Illustrator only to convert (expand) all text and strokes to path (shapes) Photoshop – for vintage effect (blurring staff, ink and so on).
