Dear Mark,
Isn’t this what Dorico is about ?
It certainly is, Marc! Being meticulous and taking infinite pains because that is the right thing to do in and of itself. As you do .
Another way of looking at it - as I’m learning fast - is the primacy of presenting players with the very best, idiomatically-formatted and crisp, unambiguous score possible for purely practical reasons.
I had a practical example recently: Dorico was praised a few weeks ago when pieces of mine were played… not a single comment on the presentation of the score itself (though several useful and welcome comments about the substance of my music!) because Dorico did such a superb job of printing - first time.
It could simply be that it disappears because Academico does not contain that character (which it certainly doesn’t). You might try a different font with a more full repertoire of Unicode glyphs to see if that allows it to appear as you would expect.
Thanks Daniel! I admit I did not think that spaces (of any kind) were part of the font… I will try with Linux Libertine O, and report just down here.
Could it be possible to add such a glyph to Academico, btw?
[Edit] I confirm it does work with Linux Libertine. For the first time in my life I can see a french vocal score with a correct french typography. I just wish it could be easier to input it (an equivalent to the french polyglossia package in XeLaTeX…)
It also does work in a text frame, but there are bips at each keystroke in Unicode, which is rather strange, since it does work, once I select Linux Libertine O (which has all the glyphs I need).
Anyway, thanks for the tip.
I hope you’ll find my other requests interesting…
