What is "b"?

What a beauty!

Feel free to post your examples here!

At the arrow in measure Y, he uses centered beams, rather difficult ones to draw. As a composer who primarily writes all of my music by hand, I can "confess" that the writing of such beams is largely determined by the angle at which the paper is positioned relative to your hand.  This pos...

I agree with you @Harpsichordmaker .  I haven't compiled any software and I don't have time to learn how to do it.  This idea is by one of the MS developers when I asked.  I was frustrated equally much at the beginning.

But why not to try it, and see how it works?

Does that mean you cant use custom text fonts either? You can use any text font.  As said, you can use any musical font as well , but you need to compile MS by yourself from the source code.  I don't know how to do it though. If the platform is so important, and if there isn’t an automatic font sub...

P.S. The reason why they don't allow custom fonts (yet that you can change if you can edit the source code!) is their platform for sharing music musescore.com — if everyone used their own fonts it would impossible to use it.

I am reading Musescore has much improved, it could become a competitor? I was considering downloading Musescore just in case (not needed just now: I own Sibelius and Dorico, never used Finale). While evaluating if Musescore has any known shortcoming about engraving my necessities (baroque, early cl...

The problem with reducing staff size is, as I believe in Dorico as well, that it reduces proportionally the staff lines, stems and font sizes equally. But it the practice it shouldn't be the case.  The engravers knife is always of the same size, only the pressure applied to the metal plate.  It mean...

Frankly speaking, I think the version 25 is a rock solid and can be used for years if note decades ahead.  And of course, there will no be "updates" that brings more bugs, that everyone was afraid of. People who make absolutely amazing scores, such as Wess-music, still work with 2012.  Man...
