Historical edition — short flags?

I'm working on a (rather large) anthology of American music. I'm considering emulating the short flags, as in the Billings example here:

Unsaved Image 1.jpg

Opinions, please. As this is a semi-scholarly publication, I am modernizing some things (e.g. clefs) and preserving others (syllabic ...

Cantorum: a new text-based chant font for Dorico

My new chant font is now available: https://www.scoringnotes.com/meta/canto ... or-dorico/

In short, it allows the user to easily input chant into Dorico using simple numbers and letters.

Feedback on new chant font

Hi friends, I'm getting close to releasing MusChant, a font that allows the user to input plainchant notation directly into Dorico.

I would appreciate feedback from a typographic perspective: stroke weight, proportion, etc. I do know some of the articulations are colliding with the staff lines; I'm ...

Questions about chant

Folks, I'm working on a font for inputting chant in Dorico (I'm sure it would work in Sibelius as well). Here's a sample:

My question: are all the neumes basically the same size? It seems some of these are different, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Should these all be ...

Italic/oblique flat and sharp glyphs?

I’m starting a large collection of chord charts (lyrics and chord symbols) for a publisher, and we’re trying to establish a style guide that is practical, legible, and typographically beautiful.

For my charts, I’ve always done bold lyrics with italic chord symbols above in Word, but now that it ...

Handing off Scorico.net

Hi folks,

Long story short: I’m looking to pass Scorico.net to someone who will keep it going. It’s a good thing, and I think it has the potential to grow quite large, but I need to devote my time to other pursuits. I can no longer give it the attention it needs.

If you’re interested, please ...

Re: Scorico.net

1. It’s “name your price.” Tons of folks have downloaded resources, and only one person has paid.

Scorico.net

I've launched a site, https://Scorico.net , dedicated to the sharing of Dorico-related resources... mostly scores, but other materials as well.

We (the site admins) intend to vet the submissions for quality, although we aren't going to be fanatical about it. The hope is that every score on the ...
