NOTATIO

Slightly OT perhaps, but I just bought a metal Pica ruler. One thousand, two hundred and ninety six points long! I've had a plastic point rule for some time, but finally got my hands on a metal one. I've always preferred working in points, as it fits for all purposes -- 1pt line, 12pt type, 48pt mar...

Right ho.

I'll be making the Dorico file available to the public, when it's finished, so you can see the whole thing.

Thanks, John. I'm not entirely sure how something like this prevents coherent voice leading; but I'm prepared to accept that I shouldn't change it. Screenshot.png He only uses centered beams when there is a melody present above the triplets that prevents the usual beaming style. I thought that: thou...

No: I'm talking about the original beaming and slurring that can be seen in the linked image.

Nevermind the spacing: that will change when I finish the document. My defaults are certainly not the factory defaults, and may well need changing for this piece.

There's also inconsistencies in the slurring. Most of the time, phrases like this have the slur flipped beneath (potentially looking like two tied notes).

But these three are done differently.

I'm copying Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine, and I have lots of questions about the beaming in the keyboard part. There's a tuplet texture all the way through. Firstly, is the cross-staff really advantageous? Wouldn't this be clearer if it was all in one staff? Ab below isn't that low; neither is D ...

It's automatically generated by FontLab:

I haven't done superscript or subscript. There are the masculine and feminine º ª characters, but that's it.

I'm guessing that RISC OS didn't use font formats that can be copied over to Win/Mac.. Can you print from the emulator to a PDF print queue? That way, you could get the vector glyphs into 2025. I'll ask Ben Finn why these fonts never made it to the non-Acorn ports. (My favourite fact about the Archi...

Thanks, Todd. I've got hold of the first one; but the second is rare and expensive!
