Thank you to all of our Scoring Notes readers and listeners!

Zoom has a high fidelity audio mode which improves audio quality in ways that make the platform work much better for musicians.

A brief set of tips on when, why and how to use open key signatures as opposed to C major, in Sibelius, Finale, and MuseScore.

Managing properties — the characteristics of individual items and fragments of items in your project — in Dorico is powerful and flexible. You can change properties globally and locally.

Take maximum advantage of articulation features in Finale v26 with this script that automatically splits precomposed articulations (such as the combined accent-tenuto) into separate articulations that automatically stack and position correctly.

Sibelius has a useful feature that can compare two scores, or versions of the same score, and give you not only a detailed list of the differences but a visual representation of them as well.

You'll be glad to trade what was a multi-step process for these handy and free plug-ins in Sibelius and Finale, which exchange the contents of one staff for another.
