NOTATIO

I've not been using Finale professionally for the last... 15 years lol ... so I can't help, but I'm sure someone else here will! Attached is your screenshot with my markup. The stem is offset, by about 1 pixel according to your screen resolution, but if you export PDF and zoom as much as you can you...

Yes, "tutti, unis." (with the comma imho) is the best for the unison bar. For the divisi bar you have several options: 1. use bar rest in up-stem voice to silence first desk/division, and write music in down-stem voice 2. write normally and then it depends from the language you are using: ...

Thanks !

Dorico uses XML under the hood to describe and store most of its data: this includes Expression maps, Engraving Options etc; but also notation objects like clefs, instruments, notes, tonalities and key signatures, playing techniques, etc, etc. A .doricolib file is just a bit of XML that contains so...

I'm curious to see what direction they take it, but would love to see D6 focus on more notation features rather than playback. Yeah, me too!
