Re: Beaming in Faure's Cantique

I guess it is Dorico.

I have comment regarding the kerning.  For my eyes, this looks so extremely odd.  Is this the default spacing?

Re: 6/8 Tuplet question

In his book Modern Rhythmic Notation Gardner Read did a survey of 200 compositions from the late-19th to mid-20th centuries and found a 52% chose my A (his B), 17% chose my B (his A), and 31% wrote it out with dots instead of tuplets (my E after David's suggestion, Read's F). Interesting survey! Go...

Wow, that is simply said A M A Z I N G !

Re: 6/8 Tuplet question

AFAIK, C is the correct version of tuplets.
In simple beats, tuplets are extended upward (toward smaller values), while in compound beats, tuplets are extended downward (toward larger values)---until both meet the regular value.

Re: What are your ideal default settings for Dorico lines

Here's a quick comparison with all my default settings: MichelTest.png I'm not super happy about the two slurs in the Violin that end up running along the top line so I would edit those. I'm trying out a new (to me this week) treble clef too as I'm bored with Bravura, but it might be a touch laid b...

Re: NUME a New Understanding of Musical Expression

OK Now notate the first page of Brahms' Symphony No.1. And force musicians to le-learn notation. Re-educate. The biggest question ever posed is "What Is the Notation?" -- let us meditate over this and open another topic. Your answers must include Abstract and at least 3000 words per post....
