Re: Spacing problem
As John said, it is not too bad to begin with.
If this is a full score, and it is a vocal score, why not have the other staves smaller in general?
Or even just reduce the ones to, say, 95%, and it should prove to be much better already.

Re: Numbering instruments on shared staves
In this case I would only show the Flute 1 uncondensed staff and hide the Flute 2 one. If this is not of your liking, I would add "1°" over the first system and then the same parenthesised at each new page (or left-hand page, if you're sure it will be printed). Another solution is to have ...

Re: Page size order conventions
I guess it depends from the context. If you're looking into an encyclopedia or phone book, of course it will be last+first name.
On a book's cover, it is first+last name.
So... yes, it depends :-D

Re: Page size order conventions
I don't get it, both Calogero and Salvatore can be first names.
Did you want to say that we present first and last name in a non-common order?

Re: Page size order conventions
paper size isn't math. This looks a lot like math to me! Geometrically, a sheet of paper is a rectangle, unless I'm missing something in your statement. I like your reflection on Westerners associating this coordinate system to what we write a lot. What about cultures (like Japanese) that read vert...

Re: Page size order conventions
there's no "rule", there's no need for it. Interesting. So, lacking specification, if you see 9x12, what do you think? In Italy, there is a convention I discovered today (!) among the library system that states that the first number is the height and the second number is the width. That i...

Re: Page size order conventions
since most paper used in publishing is in portrait mode, I generally presume that the shorter number is the width, and the longer the length. most writing paper here is measured this way: 8.5 x 11 (letter), 8.5 x 14 (legal), etc... So this is your assumption based on habit and experience, rather th...

Page size order conventions
Hello there, hope you are all well! Million-dollar question: when you see the description of a page of music, let's say 9x12 in or 250 x 320 mm, what do you visualise? Is the first number indicating the width or the height? Please motivate your opinion with specific countries' conventions. You will ...

Re: Alternative to CutePDF - for macOS
I've not been able to find a definite answer on their website, but have you tried Acrobat Reader, the free version? It has plenty of features already, and Combine may be one of them. Alternatively, with an Adobe account and going to acrobat.adobe.com, you can combine files online. Alternative that a...
