NOTATIO

the time signatures look strange to my eye, a bit too large. I prefer them to fit the staff exactly. that said, I find the staff lines and ledger lines very nice. what setting did you use? I'm considering making that sort of change as well. My current settings are: Engraving options > Barlines > De...

Hi folks, I was finding my staff lines and leger lines in Dorico to be a bit spindly, so I increased their size a bit.

Would you mind checking out this sample page and letting me know if it looks okay, or if the increased thickness is distracting/ugly/etc.?

@benwiggy - in your opinion, what type of works look best for Splentino?

I have found that leger lines in Dorico for cued music are far too spindly, and I increase them by 1/4 space to make them more visible.

I'm not sure offhand the percentage difference between cued notes and grace notes, but I'm sure it's not far.

Probably something close to "metric modulation," though in the case above it's showing that the half note remains the same tempo.

Looks good!

I really like the simplicity of the upper staff, though I would break the beams.

Really enjoying working in 6.1 right now.

I number every bar. It takes a little time to clean up sometimes, but it is always worth it in the time saved in rehearsal.

I'm eagerly awaiting approval from the "boss" to purchase the update!

As a persnickety composer, I can't wait to run the proofreading tool on my existing compositions and see what (Dorico thinks) I've missed.
