NOTATIO

Happy to hear you are well, and that you took the time you needed.

Especially for rolled chords, I like the example on the right, more like the Maestro and Engraver lines. They have a lower amplitude which allows the eye to flow down the line more. The line on the left has a higher amplitude which creates more visual noise and implies oscillation. This hints at eye...

1) Top example is fine, but I personally never beam 3 eighths together to avoid any possible confusion with a triplet. Many publishers may think this is ok, but I usually wouldn't do it.

I agree with Fred - flag followed by two beamed eighths.

Well, most of them will follow the SMuFL standard: https://www.w3.org/2019/03/smufl13/tables/staff-brackets-and-dividers.html But there are also lots "beyond SMuFL" (from U+F400 onwards), which are alternates and additional forms. E.g. Maestro uses a single glyph for accidentals in brackets, which ...

HOWEVER... It appears the Maestro Wide notehead characters are not in the new font as far as I can see. The answer for now appears to be setting the default font to Finale Maestro and choosing the new character locations for anything that is now pointing to the wrong character. Then setting the note...

Thank you everyone for your feedback. With everyone's input and a bit of research, I now understand that the Maestro Wide characters have been incorporated into the Finale Maestro SMuFL font. It's really a matter of finding the necessary characters and re-assigning them in my template. That's tediou...

------------- EDIT: This issue has been resolved. Finale's Maestro Wide font was indeed incorporated into Finale Maestro. -------------- I’ve been informed by MakeMusic that the Finale Maestro Wide font will not be receiving a SMuFL update. The font can still be used, but can not be designated as a ...

The first one are these half notes in 6/8 at the end of Chopin's Etude op. 10 no. 7, which are so much better than tied notes since there is no danger that it could be confused with a change to 3/4 accentuation, as it might in an instrumental part. I love this example. It reminds me George Orwell's...

Is studio parts we will commonly mark the voice "1st time only" and the right hand of the piano "2nd time only". We would use "Tacet 1st time" for the piano if the section is repeated multiple times.

if you can't express it simply and clearly, it probably isn't worth expressing.

That could be good advice for notating as well!
