NOTATIO

In your example:

- the first viola, first slur is a typical Finale (and other software) slur appearance: the slur's direction is downwards and the notes are going upwards. That could be edited.
- the second viola, the slur can cross the flat's symbol stem. Be cautious, though!

* I have some difficulty with the music text font you use: it is probably Minion, and all similar such as Garamond or Caslon really look odd when used as italics, they simply said have a completely different structure than the regular etc.
* The "pupitre" is a technical term, it should not be italic.
* The notes' stems appear to have more width than the barline. It could be the same or the opposite.

Thank you for the deep review! I'll make some updates today.

EDIT: I had barlines only at 2 EVPUs, compared to 3.5 for stems. I made the barlines match the stems.

And Staff lines?
Finale Default is notorious for its very very tiny templates (lines).

Ooh, that does look much better! I've updated my templates!
