NOTATIO

I'd be happy to knock up a "Finale Maestro Wide" font. There's a bit more to it than just copying in the glyphs, as the metadata for stem connections, etc, needs to be adjusted. Dorico offers a variety alternate notehead sets that can be selected in the app, and this includes Default and L...

There have been some new Engraving Options in v4 to improve beaming in various situations. There's also also a lengthy thread here and on the Dorico forum about how to get the best from all the Options. https://forums.steinberg.net/t/mini-article-configuring-beams-slurs-and-hyphens/766380 I got the ...

"The characteristic syncopated rhythms of premature contractions can be found in composed music, such as that of Beethoven. Because of this striking similarity, cardiologists Luderitz, Cheng, and more recently Goldberger et al. amongst others, have speculated that Beethoven may have suffered fr...

What about after bar 8?

I see the first edition has dispensed with the staccato marks, too.

With all the fecundity of a mature ewe, Dorico's team has released another update.

It may be entirely personal preference, but I find the 'verticality' of the last bar of A and B to be difficult to look at. In your Chopin e...

The Dorico team continue to churn out new releases: this point update has over 90 improvements and bug fixes. There are some more Engraving Options for Beams, barlines and Accidentals; a new property for trills; the addition of a single-stroke caesura; and improvements to the Key Editor, Jump Bar, a...

It's not actually a proper noun, but a common noun, right? You know -- a namey thing! While nouns were freely capitalized in English-speaking countries in the 18th century and earlier, and are always capitalized in German, I am not sure this was the case in Italy. Perhaps an overly-broad generaliza...

In the 18th-century, proper nouns were always capitalized. Capo is a proper noun. I 'reckon' that most scores I've seen use an initial capital for 'absolute' Tempi, e.g. Allegro, Tempo 1° , etc; also for Repeat indications like Da Capo, Fine ; and lower case for most other things, including 'relativ...

Most significantly, for me, is that ARIA Player is now native, which has benefits in other realms...
