Re: First time using Dorico. How did I do?

Well done! You've certainly got the hang of it within the demo period! I hope you enjoyed it. Have you manually adjusted the height of the top system on some pages? For instance pages 4 and 5, it's nice, but page 6 is much higher, and 10 is too high for all the text. I would remove the manual adjus...

First post: Feedback on a score (typesetting, fonts, cover, etc)

Hi! I'd like to share the score of a piece I wrote a few months ago. I'd like feedback on the music typeset, the fonts used, and the cover. I've read Elaine Gould's book and tried to learn some graphic design on my own, but I've never gotten feedback on any of that kind of stuff. score: https://driv...
