Re: MuseScore 3.0 released
One interesting feature of MuseScore is that they are running a web-server "OMR" (Optical Music Recognition) service. You have to create an account, and upload your PDFs. You get an email back when it's done (or been unsuccessful). I've only tried a couple of things, and the results are 'i...

Re: Beethoven Slurs
I can't add anything to this, but I must applaud you for your superb attention to detail and understanding in all of these posts. This is so interesting and I think there's a book to be published in your study of Beethoven''s use of notation.

Re: 17th Century moveably type font
I have the IM FELL typefaces (free downloads), which are similarly based on 17th Century Text typefaces. They would work well with Serenissima. Again, I only use them for simulating old pages and deliberate 'antique' effects. Scores are possible but very impractical due to the need for blank pieces ...

17th Century moveably type font
Someone has made a font that 'emulates' the moveable type used to print music in the late 16th and 17th centuries: not for your notation app, but in any standard word processor. Music type used to consist of a single piece of metal that contained the note at a given pitch and the staff lines in one ...

Re: Finale 26.1 released
I suspect that if they didn't increase the frame limit when they created the new file format, nor when they changed all the data structures to 64-bit, that it's not going to improve any time soon.

Re: Binding of scores (loose sheets)
I use a Skrebba saddle stitcher like this: https://www.amazon.com/Skrebba-W115-Saddle-Stapler-Office/dp/B00BEIZFAC It can staple A3 booklets of up to 80 pages on 100gsm paper. (20 sheets). Any more than that, and the staple buckles. If you're using thinner paper, you might get a few more sheets thro...

Re: Best way to notate long(ish) voiced consonant?
(m) under the note when you want humming to begin. So doo - (m) I would include the m in 'doom' as well as having it later. Underlay needs to 'show the word' so the singers can identify it, and only then 'show the place' for special effects such as this. I have seen stuff like 'pea - - - - - - - - ...
