NOTATIO

the first page would be easy enough: Dorico copes fine with open metre (also independent metres). Aleatoric stuff is not explicitly handled yet, and might require a bit of fiddling.

benwiggy, have you completely abandoned Finale for the future projects/publications? Yes. 25 years is enough! :lol: Since Dorico 2.0 came out in ?February?, I've produced several choral mass settings and motets, which are effortless. Almost NO layout work, after setting up the master pages. I'm als...

In 1999, I attended a demonstration of Adobe's new DTP app, InDesign, and I was amazed by all the things it could do, which Quark XPress could only 'work-around', or do in time-consuming manual ways; and I was excited at the prospect of it transforming our working practices and making life easier. I...

This is an awesome update, which complete clears the obstacles to my 'full' adoption of Dorico. Automatic Flow Headers in the middle of pages; Auto Tacet instructions for Players not in the Flow; Da Capo repeats; and complete control over Brackets; plus MIDI Transcribing; and a whole heap of product...

Thanks. Looks lovely!

I'm just wondering what the text fonts are? (scherzando and arco ord.)

If we have "Human Playback" with randomised adjustments for a more 'imperfect' and less robotic ensemble, might we not have "Human Engraving", where random alterations are made? My family comes from a long line of draftsmen, and I recently found some early practice-books of Coppe...

She also says that the hairpin should end on the right side of the ending note. Strangely enough, her examples show something else: most end on the left side of the noteheads! It could be an error. I'd be surprised, even with the best editorial practices, if a book of that size and scope did not co...

As for the upgrade itself: increased speed and improvements in automatic placement and avoidance is to be welcomed. But there is still so much for MM to address. So many long-standing bugs and limitations in notation and positioning -- colliding notes; beam over barlines is still a 'work around'; tu...
