Re: Staff and leger line thicknesses

Thank you all again for your very thoughtful suggestions.

I much prefer the updates that I've made based on your recommendations... it looks so much less meager on the page! Here's the example.

Re: Staff and leger line thicknesses

I've thickened up some of these values (including bar lines), any improvement? I included a part with more ledger lines to better show the change.

RE: time signatures, the extra size is on purpose (a hold over from working with musical theatre books, where it is an essential feature).

Re: Staff and leger line thicknesses

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?

Re: Resized staff/note and line thickness

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.

Re: "durational equivalent" name?

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

Re: octave line question

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