Re: From Plate to Page with Dorico

Re: From Plate to Page with Dorico

It’s been a while since this thread started, but I’ve always found it very interesting—so here’s my take.

My goal was to evaluate how closely Finale’s default output can match the Henle original when processed with the default settings of my Finale plug-in Perfect Layout .

Re: Extra fonts in Finale

By the way, the other famous Japanese font "Kousaku" for Finale was announced with a SMuFl version. So maybe Chaconne also get a SMuFl update?

Re: Finale fonts available for download


It would be very interesting to pit Dorico against Finale using Perfect Layout.


The new Perfect Layout v3.0 beta will probably be available in two weeks.
As the developer of Perfect Layout I would be very interested in seeing a comparison of automatic score/parts layout with Perfect Layout ...

Re: Sebastian SMuFL font

Are you really writing rule cases for every conceivable font? What happens if I have my own custom font, unknown to Perfect Layout?

This makes it much easier to identify the font in the host software.
The old font was running ...
