Re: OT: Text formatting in Preface
Of course, how didn't I think of that?!

Re: OT: Text formatting in Preface
It seems in German uses Italic for poem titles in a collection and puts tempo marks as Roman but between quotes.
I honestly feel less bad now for creating my own conventions...

OT: Text formatting in Preface
When compiling the Preface of an edition, is there a global convention for mentioning the title of a lied's poem and the tempo text of a piece of music? For example, I'm using regular typeface between double quotes for the title of poems and italic without quotes for tempo markings. Someone told me ...

*raise hand*
What software creates this by default? Or were you asked to do it?

Re: Spacing problem
As John said, it is not too bad to begin with.
If this is a full score, and it is a vocal score, why not have the other staves smaller in general?
Or even just reduce the ones to, say, 95%, and it should prove to be much better already.

Re: Numbering instruments on shared staves
In this case I would only show the Flute 1 uncondensed staff and hide the Flute 2 one. If this is not of your liking, I would add "1°" over the first system and then the same parenthesised at each new page (or left-hand page, if you're sure it will be printed). Another solution is to have ...

Re: Page size order conventions
I guess it depends from the context. If you're looking into an encyclopedia or phone book, of course it will be last+first name.
On a book's cover, it is first+last name.
So... yes, it depends :-D

Re: Page size order conventions
I don't get it, both Calogero and Salvatore can be first names.
Did you want to say that we present first and last name in a non-common order?

Re: Page size order conventions
paper size isn't math. This looks a lot like math to me! Geometrically, a sheet of paper is a rectangle, unless I'm missing something in your statement. I like your reflection on Westerners associating this coordinate system to what we write a lot. What about cultures (like Japanese) that read vert...

Re: Page size order conventions
there's no "rule", there's no need for it. Interesting. So, lacking specification, if you see 9x12, what do you think? In Italy, there is a convention I discovered today (!) among the library system that states that the first number is the height and the second number is the width. That i...
