Re: First post: Feedback on a score (typesetting, fonts, cover, etc)
I’m not a typesetting/engraving expert but here are some details that I think could improve legibility: 1st movement • Stem directions m. 5–11, 18–20, 31–44 (and many other), left hand: I’d prefer downward stems for the quarter notes, upward for the shorter ones; this is some kind of polyphony with ...

Re: a violin open string/specified tring question
I find the mixture of string number (II) and finger number (0) confusing, so how about two string numbers instead? Also, these numbers don’t have to be that cramped I think. And maybe you could make the crossing clearer by using different stem directions?

Re: Notating a bar
Maybe it’s not 100% clear for everyone but I think that like for fingerings in most cases the distribution of notes onto the hands should be decided by the pianist or the editor, not by the composer. In simple cases like this one, there is a “default” distribution every skilled pianist will use with...

Re: Notating a bar
IMHO you need those hooks for hand distribution, the stem directions and beaming are clear enough.

Re: How to beam this?
How about this?
Edit: Added two more options but I think I like the tremolo_beaming.png the most, the position of beats is clearer for me.

Re: cross staff or not?
IMHO D is horrible, as a pianist I wouldn’t think of two separate rhythms in two separate hands here. I’m not sure whether to prefer A or C, maybe kneed beams are more legible?
How about one of these? I included the variant “B without redundant rests” mentioned by Schonbergian.

Re: Old notation software
I know that! Train for “transport”, speeding quaver for “fast note entry” etc. :D

Re: If Dorico had Dorico...
You seem to have to specify two hyphens in the code just for one gap, and an underscore for each missed-out syllable...? :eek: Yes. But: Frescobaldi has a nice tool to automatically insert hyphens using hyphenation dictionary. It works pretty well for me, both for German and English language (and L...
