Re: Behind Bars - "General Conventions"

GB English versus US English. In Sweden all movies have subtitles, i.e. you get trained listening to English very early in life and at the same time get the translation written in the subtitle. Now, at the university, in parallel to engineering I studied English. The first exam I failed miserably wi...

Re: Affinity Suite version 2

I've never used Affinity so I'm not really the best to comment on this. However, just for information, I'm using FrameMaker when writing complex (regarding layout, pictures, plots, graphics, dynamic links to embed data from databases, spreadsheets, other documents, etc) and in particular for large d...

Re: Commentary on crowded page

I'm in no way am experienced engraver, but my immediate impression is not too dense rather stretched in horizontal sense.

I've modified (tweak) it a little. Do you think this distance is sufficient?

Re: Engraving Stenhammars Interlude from Cantata The Song (Sången) - Final

First of all, thanks for comments and suggestions. Sorry I’m late with my reply but I’ve been bogged down in other issues related to some of the scientific satellites I’ve been working on prior retirement. @ John 1. Tenuto indications This is in fact a “generic” Lilypond problem. I’m going to write ...

Engraving Stenhammars Interlude from Cantata The Song (Sången) - Final

First of all, I would like to thank you a lot for all good suggestions for improving my engraving of Stenhammar’s Interlude (see previous posting https://notat.io/viewtopic.php?t=940 ). Eventually I came around to finalise and fine tune the engraving. For your information, I’ve attached the score to...

Re: unis/div question

Maybe I've to clarify myself. What I'm addressing here is the score layout but this is not what the various instruments will get because they get they own instrument part only. As I said above, it's not really affecting wood and brass because they are mostly "on there own". However, for st...

Re: unis/div question

I have such cases in a piece I'm currently engraving, see below. UnisonoDivisi.jpg It starts with a divisi but for one single quarter note, both play the same. In this case, I put a2 above to remove any doubt. In fact I didn't do it, it's default in Lilypond. A stave later where I have Trombone 3 an...
