Enharmonic symbol
I'm working on a (choral) piece that has a huge number of enharmonic changes, such as: Screenshot.png They are occur frequently throughout the score, and the music is quite closely spaced. There are lyrics below, and a lot of dynamics above. I'm wondering how I might indicate the enharmonic changes ...

Re: MuseScore 4.2 Released
Does it do cut-away scores?

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'.

Re: What a difference a line makes!
wasn't there a question of some score with the word "hum-ble" crossing a page turn, and the choir suddenly switching to "bouche fermé" at the bottom of that page? That's why things like mmm are usually in italics. (Singers will also, as a joke in rehearsal, sing the words of an ...

Re: What a difference a line makes!
Ideally, I would have put a slur over the "For" as well, but I'd still value the line there.
I did some work for a publisher recently who insisted that there was always a tiny bit of a line on any melisma, unless it was really impossible.

What a difference a line makes!
It is occasionally asked whether lyric extension lines serve any useful purpose -- and sometimes one sees scores that don't use them. I recently had to sing the following**, where the words "Christ" and "Christ-mas" were both used in melismas; so you had to decide what vowel you ...

Finale 27.4 released
Just to keep up to date, Finale has released the .4 update to version 27. It offers an unusually lengthy list of fixes and minor improvements; but this has been marred by some installation problems, and on Windows, the loss of access to third-party PDF generators, like Cute PDF. Scoring Notes has a ...

Re: Tuplet values
You could be right; the quality of both original the print and the scan make it hard to determine. But when I zoom in, it could be a 2 after all.
Ah yes, there are other instances of the same pattern where it's clearly a 2. Stand down.
