Thank you all for your feedback.
Dan. I will look into MusGlyphs with interest.
Leo. Thanks for the info on replacing the glyph. I’ve tried replacing the wavy line without success but I didn’t think about the glyph itself. This gives me a very good direction.
Derrek and Jérémy. As I have already said on this forum, as a copyist I am at the service of the composer and I must respect his writing as much as possible. This does not prevent discussion with the composer sometimes!
And even if you are right about the content, as a copyist it is the form that interests me and that is why the graphic possibilities of a music engraving software are important to me. I have been using Finale since 1989 and Dorico since the beginning. I edit more and more scores with Dorico and at the moment I am redoing some “difficult” Finale scores to compare my working time with Dorico.
If Dorico saves me time, then I’ll drop Finale, but for the time being this is not the case for this kind of engraving.
As an example here are some “non-standard” prints that were a real graphic challenge (Derrek, I assure you that this work was well rewarded). These are 100% Finale files and are taken from Guy Reibel’s Calliphones (in homage to Appolinaire’s Calligrammes) which were recorded in 2014 by the Musicatreize vocal ensemble.
