#Sonification is the use of non-speech #audio to convey information or perceptualize data. While there is currently no conclusive set of techniques which standardizes the way data is interpreted, the results are often interesting, and sometimes, #musical or even beautiful.

If you are a Sibelius user who has not already invested in creating your own house styles, or are looking for some new house style options, these templates created by music engraver Philip Rothman are really excellent, & extensible should you wish to embellish or customize them.

Songs, like other things people use, get worn in their use. But are they necessarily made the worse for wear? Time for another #settlingscores blog post. settlingscoresblog.net/2020/…

This seems to have a lot in common with music preparation, particularly in the context of recording sessions where the music exists in print form as a means to a very specific end. The sheet music serves its purpose, then is no longer needed. 4/

The craft of providing music preparation has this in common with painting a transitory Sand Mandala using small copper funnels - it is part of a greater purpose; one of several transitory parts of the process of getting music heard by the listener.

A few years ago, at a local university where I was the music copyist and librarian for an orchestral recording session, some Buddhist Monks had been visiting; spending over a week creating a beautiful #Mandala of colored sand. 1/

The Sibelius Ultimate Dec. 2020 software update adds an enhanced IMPORT feature, enabling you to combine several Sibelius scores together by importing them easily into an open score: complete control over what is imported. (Plus, a nice new splash screen). @AvidSibelius @avid_sam

Me: "There is a wrong note in the intro. Do we have it anywhere else?" Editor: "See if this fixes the issue! Grabbed it from the afternoon show." Me: "Great! Totally sounds like you fixed the wrong note!" Editor: "Wonder what it would sound like if I fixed the correct note??!
To input a double trill line, one above and the other below the staff in #Dorico, make sure the two pitches are in separate voices. Insert the 2nd trill from the popover, with the caret showing the 2nd voice.
