PSA: J&J Lubrano sale
Ok, this falls way into super music geekdom, but one of my favorite bookstores is having a big summer sale. They have stuff starting a $5 and going up to way more than I can afford, LOL! Here's the PDF catalog of the huge summer sale they have going on for music books: https://lubranomusic.cdn.bibli...

Re: Distance from the left bar line
Oh, whoops! I misinterpreted that to be the varied distances from the left systemic barline.John Ruggero wrote: ↑17 Jul 2025, 21:13 Thanks, Fred G. Unn. I wasn't talking about the distance to the key signatures, but the varied distances to the left bar lines.

Re: Distance from the left bar line
To me it looks like they are a fixed distance but different engravers / publishers took differing approaches. In your first example, it looks to me like the engraver aligned the stems at a fixed distance but allowed the accidentals to be left of the alignment point. 1.png The second example looks li...

Re: Staff and leger line thicknesses
how do you know if a font is OpenType? It looks like none of my fonts have anything in that "OpenType Features" box. It's always blank. Click the + sign at the bottom which will open up a menu where you can select any available OpenType features. The features will vary by font, but it wil...

Re: Staff and leger line thicknesses
A few more comments ... 1) In addition to the above comment about hairpins and bar numbers, The rehearsal number enclosures are too thin as well. Stems also seem really thin. 2) The just released Dorico 6.0.2 version now has an option to align the bar numbers and multibar rest bar number range that ...

Re: Staff and leger line thicknesses
My current settings are: Engraving options > Barlines > Design - Thin Barlines == 2/25 spaces Engraving options > Staves > Staff Lines == 1/8 spaces I would definitely increase the thin barline thickness. The eye perceives vertical lines differently than horizontal, so barlines actually need to be ...

Re: octave line question
I think I've posted my settings either here or on the Dorico forum, but here's what I get by default with my settings: slurs.png If I change the Maximum increase in height to avoid collisions setting to something larger, I can get something like this as a default here, but I seem to recall too much ...

Re: First engraving project with Dorico
Just a few quick general comments: Even with an elaborate title page, there typically is a larger title above the first system. Since you seem to be going for a Henle-inspired look, just look at how they handle it. nuages.png Having bar numbers larger than the page numbers throws off the proportion ...

Re: Authenticity in Music Editing. Does it exist?
John, if you haven't read it yet, I think you would enjoy James Grier's 1996 book "The Critical Editing of Music," which deals with many of these issues. (Not so much the performance practice aspect, but certainly the editing.) Used copies are generally pretty cheap, but it's on Archive.or...
