Nice!!!

Yeah, that does look weird. I suppose you could change the voice column index then move it with the note spacing tool.

So I ask: is there any necessity to actually have the source files readily available after a works has been finished? What does "finished" even mean? The top Broadway shows now can run for 25 years, plus touring productions, a zillion cast changes, pop orchestra versions of the hits, etc....

Recently picked up a cool 1915 book titled Music Book Printing . One section depicts a few of the various movable music typefaces that were available at the time, and depicts how they would appear using the same musical examples. I found it interesting anyway so thought I'd share a few pages: type1....

Bumping this older thread because I picked up a neat little book published in 1915 called "Music Book Printing" that has a good summary of the proofreading markings of the time. Most of these are still used!

I was wondering if SmartMusic would also die if Finale went the way of the dodo. I think SmartMusic sales sort of exploded during COVID lockdown. I know the local public schools where I live are now using it. That's probably MM's current revenue stream and I assume one of the reasons they are killi...

ASMAC is hosting an all-star panel on "Finale's Finale: Move Forward or Stay the Course" on 9/3, with Daniel Spreadbury, Emily Grishman, John Hinchey, Russ Anixter, etc. I'm a member but I'm pretty sure it's free to register for non-members. Anyway, here's the link: https://asmac.org/civi/...

I would suggest MM to remove all licensing, and make the software open-source, someone might just keep it running. I would think there's about a 0% chance of that happening, LOL! This isn't like Leland Smith coding something out of a labor of love. Peaksware is a holding company. They bought MakeMu...

Not only ceased development but will only support authorization until August 25, 2025. So the clock is ticking until the software is truly dead. Microsoft is sunsetting Windows 10, 8, and 7 on October 14, 2025, and you can't upgrade to Win11 if your system doesn't have sufficient specs. I suspect t...

As a player, I think I'd rather see the 3 triplets instead of a 9:6 tuplet regardless of the time sig. 3/4 against 6/8 is very common, and the subdivision is so simple given the 3 quarters in the previous bar that I'd easily sightread the top example perfectly. The 9:6 I'd stop and mentally figure o...
