Re: Finale: fine-tuning Music spacing
If you've locked the systems, it doesn't affect the pages. I think that what it does is to give more room to things that are close together, at the expense of things that are further apart. So in the example above, the minims get less space and the beamed notes get more.

Re: Finale: fine-tuning Music spacing
Here's the offending passage: top is 6pt; bottom is 3pt. I presume it's more of a reference value (on the full size staff?) rather than actually putting 6pt around everything, which would be mad.

Finale: fine-tuning Music spacing
This may be well known to some, but here's a useful trick/feature that I hadn't really paid much attention to until now. In Document Options > Music Spacing, there's an setting for "Minimum Distance between Items". The default value is 3pt (12 EVPUs). I had a system with lots of beamed not...

Re: "Urtext Kapellmeister"
Thanks. The samples are nice, but they do "evoke a historical feel", as you say.

"Urtext Kapellmeister"
Has anyone used the "Kapellmeister" and other fonts from "Urtext Music Software"?
They look quite nice, but there's not enough information there, and the pages also talk about "coming in 2013".

Re: Extra fonts in Finale
Chaconne is nice: very crisp and clean. Possibly a bit too much -- the sharps don't have much contrast. But I do like the quaver flags. (I'm trying to find a font with nice "bulging" flags.) Kousaku suffers from that weird "huge p" thing that some fonts do.

Extra fonts in Finale
This works on a Mac: I don't know about Windows. If you go to the Finale 25 app and "Show Contents", then search through the "Resources" folder, you will find some new fonts! (You can Sort by Kind.) Chaconne, Kousaku, and Kousaku Percussion. Also Rentaro, which seems to be a Rehe...

Re: Music Type Foundry - new fonts!
Bravo and well done for all your hard work. I'm particularly interested in the Ross font. (Yes, by "Maestro-compatible", I meant glyph positions in the font.)
Although SMuFL is not yet fully compatible with Finale, it's clearly the way forward.

Re: Music Type Foundry - new fonts!
So does that mean that MTF-Cadence is SmuFL compatible? And also "Maestro-compatible"?

Re: Colored sheet music
I'm just wondering why the designer wants the text in blue, let alone the music.
