Re: Engravers vs Composers: Stem Direction 2

Knut, this Ravel example is indeed excellent, as well you analysis. I will definitely keep that in mind when doing my scores.

Re: Engravers vs Composers: Stem Direction 2

To call your own stem directions “not correct” is to admit that their breaking the rules doesn’t carry any meaning. Yes, breaking of the rules when composing is not that something we composers think about or not. Of course, it concerns composers who have written all their opus by hand, as it is wit...

Re: Engravers vs Composers: Stem Direction 2

+1 for David. I am one of the few younger composers who still compose on paper. I can confirm David's explanation: with an extreme quick writing of an idea I don't change position of my hand and it results in engraving (notational!) oddities. I think these oddities are beautiful but definitely not c...

Re: Maestro G Clef

I have tried to copy what Knut has done, using FontForge but it is really hard! I will not show my result... but yes, I got very inspired by how Knut made it. I have a question: is there any difference between programs when editing vector curves?

Re: # and natural symbols

It's interesting how Durand, at least in the specific case of Tzigane, slightly repositions sharps that fall on ledger lines to compensate for the effect that OCTO is talking about. I've never been aware of this before, and the few alternative publishers I've checked, do not bother with this. :) In...

Re: # and natural symbols

Dear Knut, I have printed your file and one thing I have noticed quite immediately: Screen shot 2016-01-14 at 3.13.12 PM.png When I commented the angle of horizontal lines in :s , I meant the following: in combination with ledgered noteheads, the bottom horizontal line of :s seems to be to high, the...

Re: Espressivo font

If you can provide a PDF so that we can print out would be good.
