Resized staff/note and line thickness

I’ve just looked at benwiggy’s engraving in Dorico, and I noticed one thing that still perplexes me. Have a look, original VS Dorico: Skärmavbild 2025-06-06 kl. 22.58.45.png Skärmavbild 2025-06-06 kl. 23.01.03.png As you can see, the grace note not only has a smaller note-head and accidental, but al...

Re: Dorico 6.10 update!

How is Dorico capable of writing educational material?  Such as creating various boxes, arrows in any direction, braces and brackets both horizontal and vertical?

Re: Joost Witte - calligraphy music like Bach

Interesting, I did the same when I was little.  Not exactly the same result, but the intention was right!

Re: Using leftover space

Generally, it doesn't look so good. I would try either:
a) to compress overall spacing so that the music fits on the last page
b) to expand overall spacing so that the music fits on the last page
c) as you say, to fill the rest with the following movement.

Re: Tacet or not

1) If it is a complete piece, not a combination of diverse pieces put together, yes, all parts should have all music, that includes tacet.
2) Maybe, if it will make easier to enter. But if the 3rd movement has a completely different tempo, with a clear cue, maybe not.

Not only that, he never commented badly on his ex-employer, Avid (and Sibelius).

Re: Tantacrul video on Finale

It's entertaining (for a while), although maybe a bit exaggerated about some things. eg As I'm sure you remember, it's easy enough (not obvious, I agree) to change a font globally in Finale via the menu Document>Data Check>Font Utilities, but in his video he makes a great jokey performance of not b...
