Re: Dorico for iPad

This is really funny considering how often people asked them in the past about an iPad app and they usually insisted that it was not something they would consider. Look what happened now!

Do you think this is spurred on by the switch to ARM?

Re: Finale fonts available for download

This is great.

Now the fun will begin deciding what default output is Finale or Dorico. This should be a fun test.

Re: Score with no dots!

It seems as though when the major publisher's went digital they all suffered the same problem: errors and layout golems live on the page. I just ordered some of Bach's organ music from the Bare, and I was shocked and sad to see they switched several of their editions (not all of them) to computerize...

No.

Re: How many fonts?

Oh my WORD. That looks horrendous. It feels aesthetically hairy.

Re: MusAnalysis

If this is as successful as the image provides, this will be the new standard for analysis. Can it do Neo-Riemannian stuff too?

Re: How many fonts?

Reminds me of this, though I reconciled this by "playing" with Minion to achieve the effect, without the fuss of possibly several different fonts:

It looks like the blank sheet music staves were drawn in red!!!
As much as I don't like Satie's Music, This is gorgeous manuscript! I like the red lines.

Re: Ugly slurs

That is atrocious. I wonder if that was "insisted" on by the composer... Part of me thinks that it was, because a principled engraver would never let that slide.... "but the house always wins."
