Re: Chaconne Ex — a SMuFL compatible music font

The font looks like a bunch of glyphs from various fonts slightly edited. I can't grasp how all of it goes together. Maybe is good for some educational purpose.

Re: Resized staff/note and line thickness

What a great point. I agree. Reducing the thickness of the staff lines and stems gives a less substantial appearance and is harder to read. Perhaps you should make your point over at the Dorico forum, where Daniel will be sure to see it. I am not a Dorico user, so I don't feel it is OK commenting o...

Re: octave line question

I know that you haven't finished with editing this, but I guess it is the Dorico's default.  Why can't slurs be improved in today's software?  Starting from Finale's super-ugly slurs, Sibelius couldn't improve it either, and now -- Dorico?

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.
