NOTATIO

To me, it can't be a mistake, because it was harder to write with up stems than down stems since there is more clearance below than above. And this is the second time the passage occurs; the first time also has the same unique up stems. Definitely not a mistake. Mozart never added unnecessary rests ...

In such cases, I ask myself: Is it clear? If the answer is yes, I engrave exactly as the composer wrote it, without additions or subtractions, since a great composer almost always knows best. If the answer is no. I make the least possible change, while trying to stay as close to the original as poss...

I prefer the style where the tie end stays close to the note heads and therefore goes through the flag when necessary, so I must have changed that setting.

You are welcome, Harpsichordmaker. Here are the tie settings, but I can't remember how much actual adjusting I did to ties a while ago, so it might be pretty close to the default.

Three-octave chromatic scale in Mozart's manuscript of the Fantasy K 475:

The following style of secondary bass clef appears throughout the first edition of Beethoven's three piano sonatas op. 10. It's evidently designed to save space, since the secondary clefs are the same size as the primary ones: Curiosity.png This was a period during which the position of secondary cl...

You are very welcome, hautbois baryton. I am glad that they are working for you. Please let me know if you make improvements, and I'll try them out. I haven't changed any of the Dorico line settings, which so far have looked pretty good to me. I did change many of the glyphs since I prefer Maestro.

Great suggestion! Here are my current Dorico slur settings. But they are still a work-in-progress:

As far as I can recall, Arnstein only used brackets in parts.
