NOTATIO

Part of the problem is that (Kalmus, at least) has digitized their entire collection and now most titles are print-on-demand. At first, they were printed at a very low resolution until many orchestra librarians complained. It's a bit better now, but still not as sharp as the older prints.

I was under the impression that SCORE does not use fonts for any musical symbols (perhaps excepting dynamics?), but is entirely vector based. I suppose you can alter settings that affect the shape of the notes and other symbols. It's really amazing (to me, anyway) that the the application that almos...

I don't know about the software, but I agree that this is really third rate work, both in terms of typography and engraving. I've seen enough similarly bad examples to know that there is no reason (anymore) to expect high quality engraving from Urtext editions. Hear, hear! I just bought orchestral ...

This is fine for a piano part where there can be no doubt of the composer's intention. But what if this was a divisi string staff? I bet that the B-natural would be treated as a grace note. So the "ugly" stem would be necessary. Obviously one would try to avoid a four part divisi on one st...

If they would just include a way to make instrumental cues - even as a kludge.

Good news is that the cross-grade discount has been extended to September, and you are now able to download a demo of 1.1, even if you downloaded a previous demo.
