Re: Attribution and Use of Sources
In the days when you had to go to a library to consult the manuscript, it was at least "good manners" to write "grateful acknowledgment is made..." to the cathedral, university or whatever. That, and the requirement to ask permission, was probably contractual in the conditions of...

Re: OT: Text formatting in Preface
According to "Hart's Rules for Compositors at the University Press, Oxford": Use italic for long poems which are 'books', e.g. Paradise Lost, Childe Harold, etc. Use roman in quotations for shorter poems that would appear within a collection. Tempo marks used as titles e.g. "the Alleg...

Re: Opposing Seconds with dots
This is, as far as I can tell, Dorico's default. There is a Notation Options for Unisons, but not for seconds. It's a moment's work to fix it (Swap Voice Order), but it would be great not to have to do it at all. I realise there are complications with things like F# vs F natural; or G in the lower v...

Opposing Seconds with dots
I much prefer this:
instead of this:
The latter seems much too distorted/displaced from its 'true' position.

Re: Spacing problem
Also, from what I can observe (possibly due to the browser's antialiasing), the note-heads appear to intersect with the staff lines. Ideally, the terminal points should align with the middle of the staff lines or at least coincide with the outer boundaries of the staff lines. I've noticed these &qu...

Re: Feedback on music typeface
That's a very nice font. It works very well on the page. Nice and dark. (TBH, I don't like Lava on a page of music, and certainly not for lyrics, but that's by the by... :grin: ) I notice you've used a different text font for the ottava symbols. What was that? It would be interesting to see that use...

Spacing problem
I have a piece where runs of very small notes in the Violins affect the spacing of the other parts. For example:
Short of having one bar per system, I'm not sure how to improve it, but it's very hard to read.
