NOTATIO

I might as well take it to the other forum, possibly someone there has a fix. Anyway, thanks for the response, tisimst and John!

To illustrate my point further, here's an example from Henle's edition of Beethoven sonatas (engraved by hand): And here's Finale's default (and ugly) version of the same:

I tried to search the forum for this topic, but found nothing. If it has been discussed before, please, someone, direct me to that thread. I've grown increasingly aware of, and impatient with, the ugliness of Finale's ties when continuing after a system break. Here are a few examples of how they loo...

We had a rather conservative and arrogant music critic in Sweden, Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, who said about Schoenberg's piano music that it sounded exactly like when his housemaid was dusting the piano. Maybe he would have been able to relate to this.

At my age I'm quite happy with a bit of symbiosis, when most things in life are rather the opposite of being symbiotic. As for changes or new features in music notation, I think it's easier to tell when an innovation is necessary - because you can't think of an alternative, or better, solution - tha...

Of course modern software opens up for limitless changes of music notation, and it might seem a waste of potentiality not to use it to its full capacity. I think, though, that music notators are a quite conservative/consensus-minded lot, in the sense that they value and preserve a lingua franca whic...

Your comments on this precious piece of music was really inspring, John. Another excerpt from the third movement may make it impossible to believe that Beethoven didn't have Mozart's music in his his mind at the time: Beethoven Op. 106.PNG I would like to ask you, what you make of the unusual notati...

My memory may have played a trick with me, I think the name of the program was "Igor Engraver". Does that ring a bell for anyone?

There was, once, a music-notation program called Stravinsky (which he couldn't have used himself - otherwise than posthumously, that is). Reading the advertisements you got the impression it might very well compete with Finale. I never got round to trying it out myself, and now it seems to have gone...

And if Fin... No, forget that.
