In addition to co-signing everything Chris said: The pickup measure is much too wide.
2 mm./system on systems 1, 2, and 4 is much too loose. 3 mm/system throughout prior to solos would be better. You need stems down on the B and D in the main staff in mm.7-8 and m.12. You need to configure your file so that the rhythm section hits do not affect stem or tie direction in the main staff. Also, any ties on the rhythm section hits should go above, not below. The sixteenth tuplet in m.10 needs a bracket and the number needs adjustment. The "Emi7(b5)" symbol in m.12 should move to the right, and the F13 symbol should move left and up to avoid collision. You need to make it clear that there is a chord on each eighth note hit — right now it looks like both hits are on "Emi7(b5)." Also, the internal spacing of the "Emi7(b5)" symbol could be much improved so that it doesn't take up so much space. Stems could be a bit thicker and barlines thicker still. Staff lines, stem lines, and barlines should be set to a different thickness. The diminished circle symbol does not have the handwritten look — it appears to come from a different font than the other chord suffixes. Finally, I'd use slash and diamond noteheads for the hits, not X's. You also have a regular (non-diamond) notehead above the staff in m.7 Cheers, - DJA ----- WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On Apr 21, 2014, at 8:19 AM, Girard Bowe <girard.b...@verizon.net> wrote: > I used Darcy's & Steve's suggestions for the Blues on My Mind leadsheet, and > here is the result: > > http://freejazzinstitute.com/showposts.php?dept=transcriptions > > Thanks again - I'm open to comments regarding the look - would you have laid > it out this way? > > Giz > Richmond VA > > |-----Original Message----- > |From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of > |Darcy James Argue > |Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2014 1:40 AM > |To: finale@shsu.edu > |Subject: Re: [Finale] Ossias, I think > | > |Don't use the Ossia Tool.
