Re: Piano pedal vertical alignment
You are welcome, John. I can see some difficulties in swithching to Finale Maestro, but it's possible to change the font for a specified category only, like rests, in Document Options. Then, as the whole-rest glyph isn't qite correct as you say, it feels a little like "two steps forward and one...

Re: Piano pedal vertical alignment
Having no jobs at the moment I experimented a little with whole and half rests with ledger lines (as I call them, because I think that's what they are, really). In Finale 27 you have access to the SMuFL fonts. In Finale Maestro the preselected whole and half rests have the same too short ledger line...

Re: Piano pedal vertical alignment
These are really very minor considerations, but to my eye I think it would look more natural or expected if the whole rest in 199 were aligned with the bottom staffline, and if the ledger line of the whole rest in 200 were a little longer, as in both the Schenker and -53 Henle edition. (In Schenker ...

Re: Piano pedal vertical alignment
Thanks for your reply, John! I like your engraving very much, and especially that you abandon the conventions of pedal marks placement when there's a good reason for it. Thanks to that your edition is clearer and closer to the MS than the -53 Henle edition!

Re: 6-sided Pedal symbol
If you changed the P it's not Sebastian "of course", but "Sebastian". However, I liked it, whatever your explanation.

Re: 6-sided Pedal symbol
Benwiggy, I liked your six-sided release symbol! It's less "fussy" than the traditional eight-sided one. Also I liked the font you used for the Pedal mark, for the same reason. Which font is it?

Re: Piano pedal vertical alignment
Just a thought about Schenker's edition – the vertical placement of the pedal and release signs look fine to me, but I'm not convinced by the horizontal positioning. Here's Beethoven's MS: Appassionata mov. 3.JPG From what I can see B. has taken care to place the release marks precisely after the la...

Re: Vertical alignment of bar lines
Thanks John for your comment! I too couldn't find moving barlines to be the thing to do in this case. I'm glad you agree that numbering repeated measures is a good idea. I've used it myself in obvious situations like app. 8 or more measures with identical contents.

Re: Vertical alignment of bar lines
Sibelius' Night Ride and Sunrise (Schlesinger). A section which is rather repetitive in a 'pre-minimalistic' way: Sibelius 1.JPG The sixteenth pattern is identically repeated for another full page! I'm not sure that moving the barlines a little would be of much help here - or would it? Perhaps numbe...
