Re: Very Short Octave Sign Rant
The first post shows different vertical alignments of the line for ottava alta, but always somewhere between 50% and 100% of the figure 8 height. I’d like to make the LilyPond default somewhere between, maybe something like 80%. What shuld the default then be for ottava bassa (when there is no text ...

Re: Arpeggio indication: slower
I wrote my bachelor thesis about that symphony and “slow harp arpeggio of a D major chord” looked very familiar

Re: Arpeggio indication: slower
You could specify the duration (f. e. a :4 ) that the arpeggio should take by writing it out in small notes and use only the remaining duration (here :5d ) for the chord: arpeggio_small_notes.png Or, if you don’t want/need an exact duration, write something like “a piacere” as Kurt Atterberg did at ...

Re: Very Short Octave Sign Rant
The 8va text looks to just be boilerplate italic New Century Schoolbook. That's because it is. LilyPond's music font doesn't have dedicated ottavation symbols and so it utilizes the default serif font, which is Century Schoolbook L, a fine choice if you ask me, though maybe bold italic could do bet...

Re: Very Short Octave Sign Rant
LilyPond 2.19.83 default: lilypond.png IMO the full-size “va” looks very bad but the right edge looks cleaner than the dashed ones (especially Durand). By the way, LilyPond had a dashed vertical right edge until version 2.19.13: lilypond2.19.13.png This was changed on purpose following Gould’s reco...

Re: Very Short Octave Sign Rant
Finale’s right edge is too short.
LilyPond 2.19.83 default: IMO the full-size “va” looks very bad but the right edge looks cleaner than the dashed ones (especially Durand).
MuseScore 3.2.3 default: Too small gaps between the dashes.

Re: Dorico/Lilypond/SCORE?
You would have to manually override the markings for it to be really usable - it doesn't appear to do things like 1. 2. or 1.2. - only Solo vs a2. Overriding the markings is easy: \version "2.19.83" \layout { \context { \Staff soloText = "1." soloIIText = "2." aDueText...

Re: Riemann: an OpenType font for functional analysis
This is only a proof of concept but I think if some of your are interested one could make this more feature-complete (f. e. add top notes above the symbol, complete set of altered figures, triple dominant, accidental glyphs, ligatures for numbers ≥ 10 that take only one horizontal space, …) more ro...

Re: The longest slur - ever.
I think „legato“ wouldn’t cover the voice crossing … I’m not even sure whether the main purpose of that slurs is the legato marking

Re: Key signature and staff size
I think the first one is correct. At least Henle (Mendelssohn Piano Trios, 1977) and Sikorski (Shostakovich Piano Trio, 1962) do it that way. Edit: I had a closer look: The truth lies inbetween: The spacing of the smaller key signature is a bit wider in relation to the glyph size but narrower in abs...
