Re: Half-dashed slurs

Saw your post on notat.io (where I'm not registered) and only have Sibelius. But if Finale can use a white graphic set into Background (but in front of the slurs) then you could use 2 slurs right above and cover the solid one with the white graphic. white cover.png How it's done: white cover howto.p...

Re: Converting a soundtrack to music manuscript?

Anthemscore has a 30days trial and does a very good job on creating a score from mp3 or midi. Of course the result needs further work but provides a very helpful basis.

Re: Creating a document with 205 songs

(edit: your answers flew in while I was typing so slowly...) I think there are different (dis-)advantages with both ways. If you do all in a single document, then it's easy to apply page numbering and change style for all 205 songs alltogether. But it may be difficult if you want to change the order...

Re: OT: PDF editing software

PDFCreator: Was good, but cannot recommend anymore because of all the Adware it now tries to install. What adware? I just updated to 2.4. For the installed product, there are no ads except for their own product PDF Architect, and it is not a popup ad, you have to click on the tab to see it. Since t...

Re: Dotted line not showing in PDF

I also would suppose that perhaps the used PDF Reader isn't the greatest. Eg. the PDF is opening in a default browser plugin.
For Windows a nice lightweight PDF-Reader is SumatraPDF which is small and doesn't even need to be installed.
