NOTATIO

That's exactly what it is, Schonbergian. The small staff size makes the music look puny.

Here is the Schenker edition:

Thanks, OCTO. They were interesting to watch. Because of my recent intensive experience with the piano sonatas, I agree completely with the gentleman at the beginning of the second video when he says that Beethoven took great, even extraordinary care in notating his music. So why then does Baerenrei...

But that reminds me of something that LilyPond is definitely missing. For time signatures there are digits from :n0 to :n9 which are used in smaller sizes f. e. also for fingerings but there are no corresponding italic digits (which could be used for original or alternative fingerings and ottava ma...

You are very welcome, Yinyue. Often the explainer learns as much as the questioner, so please keep asking!

If the final note of the gliss. and the rest in the upper staff were aligned vertically, it would be fine as written. Gould ("Behind Bars" p. 145) suggests placing a small note of the proper duration above the staff (possibly in parentheses) to show the duration of the gliss. within the se...

And these parameters should be controllable not only as per-document, but also per-item To achieve "manual editing" one indeed needs at least 3 different type of software. These two statements summarize the present state of music notation software perfectly. It needs a lot of outside help...

I like your Dorico version a lot, teacue, and I am very glad that you found this thread informative. Of course, the attachment point is unavoidably low for my taste but this has been discussed already. It does puzzle me that Dorico offers so much control over the line but only three possible alignme...

Wow, am I impressed (as I so often am) with LilyPond and the LilyPond community. By all means, give the users all the possibilities. I have never seen such a large va in an octave sign, and I am pretty sure it is non-standard, so you might want to change the default on that for sure. Also the size a...

Unfortunately I can’t show you because that would mean to reset ALL my engraving options to the default Sorry, Florian, the Finale default file concept is so ingrained in my thinking. But I can look at the Dorico board for examples. But keep in mind that Dorico is (also but) not exclusively targete...

Thanks very much, Schonbergian! A characteristic seen even in the first uses (with which I am familiar) is that the octave sign extension line is more continuous than the other dashed lines. That is one way in which Finale and Lilypond fail, and in which Dorico might be improved. However, I agree wi...
