Plantin-Moretus Printing Museum in Antwerp
If you're ever in Antwerp, I strongly recommend you go to the Plantin-Moretus Museum. It's housed in the 16th-century house where Christoph Plantijn founded his printing business in the 1550s, and where it continued for over 300 years. While most of it is focused on type and illustrations, there is ...

Re: "durational equivalent" name?
Yes, I'd call it a Tempo equation or metric modulation. Dorico's manual uses "Tempo equations"; but searching for metric modulations will also bring it up (albeit not the first entry). If you just enter "Tempo marks" or "Tempo indications", then one of the first entries...

Re: Resized staff/note and line thickness
It has also been noted that Dorico scales slurs from grace notes, too. You can change the scale on a slur to "Normal" in the Properties, (though it's not always an improvement, given the short compass -- they can look like a dead slug.) I think most computer software has been guilty of jus...

Re: Fold out page in PDF
Details like fold-outs need to be clearly described in instructions to the printer. Adobe did create a format called JDF -- "Job Definition Format", to go with PDF, which was an attempt to create a digital standard for defining print job instructions, but it didn't take off in the print in...
