NOTATIO

Today I almost got a mental breakdown because of Sibelius.  

I am in.

What I mean by "quick" is to execute the command in a shortest possible time by using shortcuts and without any screen-delay.


To be fair, one should mention that depending on your computer specs you might experience some lag with big files, because of the recalculations of spacing that always ...

How about quick copy/paste between different instruments, moving phrases around (left/right, as with Sibelius CMD+ALT+arrow), quickly copying and pasting specific elements from one instrument to another (slurs, hairpins, etc.), filtering specific elements within a selected measure, etc.?

What I ...

Thanks!


And if you were a Finale user, there is a very favourable cross-grade price.


Yes, both Finale and Sibelius. Actually, I already submitted the crossgrade information, but I forgot to check the status. It was approved, but then cancelled because I didn't respond within 30 days or so.

If ...

Thank you all!

I was hesitating to answer right away, as I wanted to wait and see what several people would say.

Of course, dspreadbury , it's unfair to comment on software you haven't tested yourself, and looking at someone else's workflow also assumes that the person might not fully know the ...

Actually, what I have in mind is to create a uniform paper size for my parts, so that they can be printed both in Europe and the US, and have the whole thing sorted out once and for all. This is surprisingly messy. I am not sure why there isn't a more or less fixed standard.

In Sweden, there is the ...

What paper sizes are available in the US for orchestras to print parts themselves?

My guess is that Letter is not an option.

Today I had a chance to work with one of my students, looking at his orchestral score in Dorico. From my point of view, I haven’t seen so many clicks and pop-ups since the "Finale days." The output was generally "ok", but I wasn't particularly impressed by the default result. He had to go through ...

Instead of pitch G use pitch A (first finger), then use triangle notehead for the highest tone.

And use   harmonics─────────┐  above the phrase.

Remember, your first note is making glissando, your last note is not making glissando. It is the final note of two beats sounding still.

This one is good and easy. Please, please, remove the string numbering and fingering, it does nothing and creates a "notational dust".


oooo, ok.
will do.
I much prefer having a nice clear uncluttered score anyway.

ok, here is the full passage, on D and G strings, then later on E and A ...
