NOTATIO

Eventually, AI will make everyone obsolete, and we can spend our time figuring out what to do with ourselves. They said that about computers in the 80s! AI will be no different to what computers have already done. They have made processes obsolete, not people. Plate Engravers used to spend 8 hours ...

I think, if you play with considerably rubato, you'll have trouble with any software, without providing them some sort of map of the tempo change. Dorico does have some very nice options for importing MIDI. Firstly, there are a whole load of options for how to import the file: https://steinberg.help...

This, to me, is the flaw in the "semantic" model. The programmers have too much work to do to keep up with and satisfy the many requirements in a timely way. It's true that "everything not explicitly implemented is in doubt"; though the program has much more flexibility than it ...

A seems understandable, and much more familiar. You don't need to show the sub-beats.

The slur is a bit wild, though...!

Sounds great, @Agent007 !

Grace note slurs are certainly a weak spot, and I find they do frequently need manually adjusting. I have made some improvements to the default settings, which work for some, but not all. You can select the Slur and click on "Scale: Normal" in the Properties panel, which will give you a no...
