Re: Enharmonic symbol

Yes, but as said, in a closely packed texture, I think that's going to add clutter and confusion. It's a beautiful piece of German Romanticism, but the notation is absolutely bonkers. 5 flats, but riddled with sharps, seemingly to make intervals more obvious, rather than 'vertical' harmonic reasons....

Re: Enharmonic symbol

Bracketing the note often means to tacet or "ghost" it, so I wouldn't be inclined to use that. Gould shows a bracketed cue-sized stemless notehead on page 437 if you like that style. Yes, that's the usual convention, but as said, adding little noteheads everywhere is going to confuse just...

Enharmonic symbol

Re: Finale 27.4 released

Yes - I only use it for legacy files that I haven't transferred to Dorico. But I'm still interested in how/whether it develops. And I have a soft spot for Garritan/ARIA.

Re: What a difference a line makes!

The software is Dorico; the font is probably Kepler Semicondensed Caption. I've been using that for years, so it's something of a house style; though I am moving to Nepomuk, in order to 'eat my own dog food'. :lol:
