NOTATIO

Hi, just wondering... I'm engraving a piano piece in 5/4 in which the r. h. has two whole bar rests and then four beats of rests and a final quarter note. Although the whole note rest is technically ok four the 4 beats, it looks odd following the two previous empty bars. Would it be wrong if I use t...

Hi, I'm finishing a project in Finale with piano pieces by a Chilean composer from the first half to the 20th century. It would be my first printed publication, and still have a couple of months before entering into press. Is there any chance someone could take a look into it and give some feedback?...

I'm still learning how to use Dorico, and struggling with beam/stem settings. I also have a dream, that given a set of parameters, and after editing a beamed group, one could click a "learn" button that could modify the correspondent parameters. And also to have settings for beams within t...

Will that work for all the menu items I change or must be activated for each one? The reset and remove, affect every option changed in all items, or is ...

Hello: I'm working on a piece (still in Finale) that has many time signature changes, in which several instruments stop playing about halfway until the end. In those parts, is it ok to add a final multimeasure rest with a tacet al fine text, despite there are several metrics changes afterwards? Or s...
