Re: SCORE 3.1 [Looking to Buy]

If the company is no longer a legal entity, are you still contractually bound by the EULA? This is an interesting point. IIRC there wasn't any sort of copy protection on the software as it was a DOS program. I don't have any idea of what the legality is here, but if it's really dead and not support...

Re: SCORE 3.1 [Looking to Buy]

Also, if you can buy it, I always found Tom Brodhead's subroutines pretty much essential too, especially LJ, VJ, and BEAM, and used them on everything I did.

Re: SCORE 3.1 [Looking to Buy]

I used to have the DOS version (last version I had was likely 3.0, 3.1?), but have no idea what happened to the disks. It does appear like you can still purchase the Windows version of WINSCORE 5.01, which I don't think really ever caught on with SCORE users: http://www.maresova.net/winscore/purchas...

Re: Sotheby's - Music: Books & Manuscripts

Wow, there's a bunch of cool stuff in there! I actually have a hardcover copy of the the Da Capo 1972 reprint of the Playfield "An Introduction to the Skill of Musick." Mine's the 12th edition with chapters from the 13th and 14th. Pretty cool that the both the original 4th and 6th editions...

Re: Proofreading suggestions

Yeah, I have a few Dorico-specific proofing steps too including a couple of bar number issues. 1) There's a bug where the saved default Layout Options don't always apply correctly. For a lot of people this affects page size but for me it often unchecks "Show bar numbers at rehearsal marks"...

Re: Proofreading suggestions

Both Schirmer and Ross have good chapters on proofreading too. I assume most people here probably have Ross so check out pages A22-A24. In the late 90s/early 2000s I used to work for a woman who used the Schirmer method. I still basically use it, although I don't literally check off the letters anym...

Something in the works at Sib

I don't even have Sib installed anymore, but I have a friend who posted about this on FB. "Sam at Sibelius" posted this on the Sib forum today: "Again, sorry we haven't been able to say anything about what's coming next. We've been working on something new and ambitious, details of wh...

But the real question is 'what do we want to test?'

Re: Multi-bar rests

Something I've thought about when writing cues is the different placement of the musicians in different orchestras. Any ideas about how to think about this? Sure, a cue isn't very useful if the player can't hear it! If it makes musical sense and is a strong identifiable line, I tend to cue like ins...
