Good morning, Daniel & S-team, this is what we talked about in one of my threads before the 1.0.10 update (10 Requests, point 5). The ability to have Indented systems/staves both from the right-left to change their width in just one flow.
Lucky I own Sibelius, I guess…at least now I can do it with the new 8.5 update: ¨Example showing how a snippet of music can now be shown with an extra small staff that’s independent of the stave above.¨(Picture & link attached)
- Info extracted from http://www.avidblogs.com/sibelius-8-5-now-available-whats-new/
- ¨The new control of the staff sizes allows you to change individual bars, whole systems of one or more instruments, large passages of music, or entire pages at a time¨
By the way, this 8.5 looks like a direct inspiration from Dorico…Siberico 8.5.
If their next thing is to implement (aka to copy) native free time and extended printing options…uff…what are you gonna sell?
The way I see it, you should start to focus your time with Play Mode, to make it perfect. Perfect Rewire, perfect VST Expression Maps, perfect Modulation & Expression Lanes(like the one of the making of video_https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V7AjfDsx1U)…I bought Dorico because of that video lane, that’s the big deal to me.
Play Mode it’s very attractive, that DAW look sells because it’s really useful and 2016. What old & new school composers need. Not that PetrucciDorico 17th Century/whatever thing…that’s OK, but it´s an elitist niche, not a best-seller.
As this Sib8.5 update demonstrates, Avid can implement very fast your engraving & design concepts. Avid can STEAL your ideas very fast. But can they make a proper Play Mode?
It’s up to you. I can afford to lose the 279€ of my Dorico dissapointment of fighting workarounds, missing chords, no drums, no 4 lines-percussion, no Rewire, bugs and no Midi Lanes. What can you afford to lose?
Un saludo,
Juan
