Re: [Finale] Spacing issue, two voices

Nice LP, Abraham.
Knut, have you moved notes manually?
I will investigate if there are settings in Finale that do it automatically; if not, this is bizarre!

Re: Brahms Op. 119, No. 1

Really beautiful. Very nice balanced in BW power, good spacing.
What text fonts do you use?
Going from back, some kerning of noteheads would be good to have.

Re: [Finale] Spacing issue, two voices

Yes, I also feel that these quarter notes should be equally spaced.

[Finale] Spacing issue, two voices

Hello everyone.
Is this normal spacing between beat 1 and 2 in voice 2, upper staff?

Re: Why SCORE is so good, an opinion

SCORE allows absolutely unparalleled, complete control over every item on the musical page. Yes yes.. you can manipulate all 19 of SCORE's slur parameters What to say more? When I see a slur colliding with an accidental, I can just adjust exactly the part of the slur that needs to be changed Finale...

Re: Notation Programs' Output Comparison

Knut, beautifully done! I enjoy very much your example.
One small thing to consider: ties in your example should be more flatten, IMO.

Re: Finale: Flags and stems

Is the note-head offset as well? I find up-stem flag to be misplaced by default (stem drops out). You can increase the stem length in document options I think that it than affects non-flagged stems as well, what he doesn't want. That is definitely an issue. The flagged notes should have 'shorter' st...

Re: RE: Re: Notation Programs' Output Comparison

Again, that is not something that HAS to be done, I just thought it would be an interesting exercise. Who knows? Maybe it would encourage app developers to adjust their settings if they saw how bad their current settings are... (I'm not pointing fingers at any app, it's just a thought) That makes s...

Re: Notation Programs' Output Comparison

A short comment about "default" settings. I don't believe in default settings, at least not for Finale neither Sibelius. What I mean is that someone adjusted software settings in order to present "some kind of house style". I remember clearly how the default document in Finale ha...
