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
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: 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.
