Re: "ad lib" harp glissandi

it's doable in Dorico, and making the straight playback gliss line invisible by making it really small works as well.
but it still looks messy to my eye.

"ad lib" harp glissandi

I'm wondering how some of you handle an ad lib harp glissando. generally, it appears that curved lines indicating the general idea of where this gliss. goes seems to be the most standard way of notating it. I'm finding that no engraving program really lets you insert a curvy line that matches well w...

Re: Ossia: Finale versus Dorico

In Dorico? why the heck didn't someone tell me this when I first brought it up on the Steinberg/Dorico forum? As far as I could tell, if I wanted the ossia for the orchestral basses to show, then I also had to have the ossia for the solo violin show, despite me NOT wanting it to show. In the options...

Re: Ossia: Finale versus Dorico

I find making ossia measures in Dorico far simpler than in Finale, and also much more stable. my only issue with Dorico's function is that it does not allow one to hide/show per instance ossia measures. it's a bit too "all or nothing". if you want to show ossia measures in the score, it wi...

Re: Behind Bars - "General Conventions"

I definitely wasn't meaning to start a discussion on language and acceptable/unacceptable terminology. As I said, I understand that "stave" is perfectly acceptable. Only that I've grown up always hearing "staff", and it sort of makes me cringe every time I see reference to stave ...

Re: Behind Bars - "General Conventions"

I know it's perfectly acceptable grammar but... it annoys me to read "one stave". I've grown up to know it as "one staff/ many staves."

Re: Nepomuk v2.07

is this the same font that was recently announced as being included with Dorico? (or am I misremembering the Dorico information!?!?)
