Re: Line/Slur/etc. settings for Dorico

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.

Re: Line/Slur/etc. settings for Dorico

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. In any case, they seem to be working fairly well. Please let me know if you make improvements: Dorico Ties 1.png Dorico ...

Stem Direction-the Long View

The area in red from the first movement of Mozart's piano sonata K. 457 is an example of his "long view" of correct stem direction, a characteristic seen also in Beethoven and Chopin. In the surrounding measures, the soprano part has up stems because of the position of the lower parts. Yet...

Bass clef oddity

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...

Re: Line/Slur/etc. settings for Dorico

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:

Re: rest amalgamation compound time, quarter note beats

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

Re: rest amalgamation compound time, quarter note beats

You're right, Fred G. Inn. Sorry, MicheleRE. I overstated the case. I think that in common practice it follows the same rules as quarter rests in 6/8 vs. 3/8 etc. But half-rest quarter-note, half-rest quarter-note in 6/4 looks wrong to me. I guess I prefer :4r :4r :4 :4r :4r :4 I believe that it was...

Re: rest amalgamation compound time, quarter note beats

I'd be interested in the origin of this convention as well. Anyone know for sure? It certainly goes way back. A conjecture: our present system of rhythmic values is based on duple divisions. Whole notes and rests, divided into halves, quarters etc. and makes the 4/4 measure the starting point. Tripl...
