Some things is harder and some is simple, I can calm souls now that I have already tried many things in Dorico say for older programs that they are much more useful than Dorico himself. What is much more important to me is that as you can tell from my GIF examples, it is not how much, but "how". I always thought I had tried most of the features in Igor Engraver and Music Press (Graphire), and then something different comes to my mind so I start experimenting and in the end I surprise myself after so many years that some things are still possible and simple! For what I can do with them, I personally don't need some big exhibitions and big miracles in notation. Good programs with good logic in mind and functions, but need experimenting and learning all. If you need some special design you can do this and export from Igor score 1:1 to EPS file or from Graphire Music Press and just add what you need in DTP program (Illustrator etc.) or change all.
With both Igor and Graphire you can notate all classic notation, and more like hmmm "hand-engraving scores" , please read again my posts about Dorico here on forum.Įvery program have different possibilities. You can add "nested slurs" and some "extension" lines and vice versa, you got slurs with minimum tweak just like in my short examples. I was surprised that Igor had this options ages ago. For me, computer engraving is clearer than the hand-engraving. In any case, if you are correct, then it follows that the notes of almost all computer engraving disappear into the background because the note heads do not bleed over. The impression I get from benwiggy's example is that they are overflowing the staff lines. Th impression I get from the scan is that the notes are contained within the staff lines. I think that there is a big difference between the accidental overbleed slightly observable in a few notes in the scan below from a modern hand engraved edition, and the intentional overflowing of the staff lines of every note head with the precision possible with a computer and laser printer. This "overbleed" is practically ubiquitous in hand-engraved scores and helps to bring the notes back to the visual foreground. It's well-known that round objects appear smaller than they are, and if they are left at the "correct" size the notes will just disappear into the background. As unintuitive as it may sound, the larger noteheads actually aren't too large for the staff at all.
