NOTATIO

Thanks Fred, now I see what’s the problem with not being able to edit one’s old files. I don’t know anything about musicals movies etc. as I only work with music approximately 1600-1799, which doesn’t need much revision once finished and printed.

I am reading a lot of complaints for the Finale shutdown, and on the Facebook often they take the form if a grieving loss: one has written: “I’ve been dumped after 27 years, now my work of 27 years is lost forever.” it seems excessive to me, but then it occurred to me that in fact I don’t know the s...

For the last question: I don't think that fonts are the main reason of a nice looking score. It's not the music font, it's the artistry of the engraver's choices that make a written page beautiful. Sure enough, but we aren’t talking about what’s needed to get a beautiful page. That is true for text...

:n5 P.S. The reason why they don't allow custom fonts (yet that you can change if you can edit the source code!) is their platform for sharing music musescore.com — if everyone used their own fonts it would impossible to use it. I know, but that is a very insufficient reason. If the platform is so i...

I am reading Musescore has much improved, it could become a competitor? I was considering downloading Musescore just in case (not needed just now: I own Sibelius and Dorico, never used Finale). While evaluating if Musescore has any known shortcoming about engraving my necessities (baroque, early cl...

There are three threads now on this subject, maybe an admin should conflate them. So Finale is dead and Sibelius doesn’t seem in a perfect shape with Avid not giving it attention, the auth engine working half of time, and its overall lack of new development and big fixing. Finale is endorsing Dorico...

A beautiful font, I have only very small details to point out. :t is too much leaning forward. Same for the :4r Augmentation dots too big. :6 internal eye too much oriented towards left (but probably this has been done to be consistent with the :5 which on the contrary I like very much. :n2 has a to...

I’ve just got the alert after a couple days not getting it. When the alert is not got it probably only means the browser remembers we have given permission to go on notwithstanding the lack of a certificate. If you go to the website with another browser or maybe from a different wifi, you’ll get it ...

Usually the website provider (the company which owns the server where the website runs on) provides a SSL certificate and updates it automatically when needed, so once the qebsite is up and running nothing has to be done by the website administrator. The certificate comes with the annual price of th...

Regarding editorial clef changes: they can be done well and in tune with the composer's thinking, or badly and distort the musical picture. Here is an example that I found in about a minute in Bach's Goldberg Variations. Fine composers try to place their clef changes in musically logical places, of...
