NOTATIO

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....

OK, I've added the Roman numerals to the Regular and Italic styles. I'm pretty happy with the fonts now, and I've tracked down as many kerning pairs as I can find. So I'm declaring v2.02 the 'stable release', and don't intend to do any more for the time being, unless something hideous is uncovered. ...

I'm also realizing that I find Dorico's cautionary parentheses a bit heavy handed. I'd love to substitute a thinner, more elegant glyph, but haven't figured out a way to do that yet or if it's even possible. You mean like this? ;) Screenshot 1.png Sadly, accidental brackets and parentheses aren't i...

Well done! You've certainly got the hang of it within the demo period! I hope you enjoyed it. Have you manually adjusted the height of the top system on some pages? For instance pages 4 and 5, it's nice, but page 6 is much higher, and 10 is too high for all the text. I would remove the manual adjust...

OK, will add the Roman letters. I also have some more kerning adjustments! Thanks for the French correction. My schoolboy French is in need of some work. The Durand publication is known to have several misprints, but I'm trying to find out what they are! I think I'll keep the look of the original, t...
