NOTATIO

Version Changes are as follows: 2.1.0 (December 2016) - Full support for Steinberg's Dorico (optimal from Dorico 1.0.20 on!) - Update to SMuFL 1.21 - Updated documentation - New French documentation (so now we have EN, DE and FR) - Improved metadata - Improved German default files - Char. U+E044 (re...

The link and the zip file say 2.0, but inside it's 2.1.

I hadn't noticed that KLEMM released an update to the November 2 font in December last year. The current version is now 2.1, and this provides better support for use in Dorico, and added some more glyphs. If you've already purchased November before that, you might want to check the version you have....

"Notes to be plaied when the Master of the Viols comes not to Evensong, having a soare heade from the tavern." Yes, that's the most likely. I've asked a few friends who specialise in playing early keyboard stuff. That should sort out whether it's a well known device for the period, or if i...

This is a snippet from an old Finale forum discussion, which I've kept in my file: In a Finale 2009 document, the default thicknesses are (all measurements in spaces): Barlines: 0.14583 Heavy Barlines (i.e., Final Barlines): 0.5 Staff lines: 0.14583 Leger Lines: 0.14583 Stems: 0.14583 In a Sibelius ...

If it were an ornament on the upper notes in my first example, then I would expect them to be above, or nearer the notes. They are often over an octave away.** Also, the pitch of the symbol seems to be significant. For ...

Having worked in publishing for many years, I can't follow discussions about line thicknesses in anything other than points. ;-) My thinking is that staff lines are akin to graph paper. They are reference lines, and somewhat in the background, merely providing a guide for the notation. I therefore p...

It's usually found at the end of a staff line, to give warning of the pitch on the following line. But I've not seen it in this context before.
Actually, checking the dates, the source is early 17th century, so moving towards Baroque.

Here's another instance, where I've taken it to mean "follow the lower line in thirds for a bit". (Well, that seems to fit, up to the dotted minim. )

Here's a quick mock-up of one of the instances. The descent of the symbols clearly suggests that notes at those pitches sound at the values of the notes above. "Ditto".
