NOTATIO

I've released a new version, 2.03, of Nepomuk. There are now Small Caps variants in both Regular and Bold, so you can use small caps in apps that don't support OpenType features.** (I've actually swapped the lowercase and small caps glyphs, so if you do use it in an app like InDesign, turning ON the...

This is 12/8, presumably? Does it match a syncopated pattern elsewhere in the score?

Some more data points: Maestro Wide: 1.41 spaces. Finale Engraver: 1.43 spaces. VintageGHMA: both 1.31 and 1.41. Sonata: 1.2. Though some do have different sizes for the black and white noteheads: the black heads being usually smaller, but larger in some fonts! Perhaps a square root of 2 * the space...

One thing I noticed while making comparisons to Henle's engraving, is that their noteheads are quite wide. Screenshot 4.png If we compare the width to 1 space, the notehead is about 1.45 spaces (fuzzy bitmapping notwithstanding). Screenshot 6.png Maestro's default noteheads are about 1.27 spaces. Br...

It's likely that Maestro has only one wavy line character for all types of notation, whereas Finale Maestro will have several different glyphs for different notation types and sub-styles thereof. The SMuFL standard provides several different 'speed' wavy lines for trills, for example.

Thanks all. I'm revising the wiggly lines in Sebastian precisely because I wasn't entirely happy with them. I've now got this: Screenshot.png where you can see trill, gliss and arpeggio. Here's Maestro: Screenshot.png and here's Bravura: Screenshot.png .... aaand now the differences between them all...

The few plate engraving examples I have look more like Maestro, but with thinner strokes in the thin bits. (though it's often hard to tell on pixelated scans and photocopies).

What's your favourite wiggle? I'm looking at the wavy lines used for trills, arpeggios and gliss. The variations are the amplitude, the frequency of repetition, and the thickness of the stroke (and any contrast in stroke as the shape turns). Does anyone have a preference between these two: Screensho...

To make the beam starting with the main rhythm would best readable for me. But I have one professional against me. He likes to put the beam like the syllable are going. So he suggests the single flags is right for my example. I agree with Fred: beaming " to the syllables" is very old-fash...

I suppose....
