Counting Is HardHear me out. Mathematicians should adopt Futhark (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes#Futhark" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes#Futhark</a>)Mathematicians want new symbols like magpies want shiny things. Runes have the advantages that1. There are not too many of them at around 24 depending on flavour.2. Many of them correspond to a latin character in a relatively straightforward way, allowing for an additional "sort" of variables per context.3. They can be drawn with straight lines in a way that is clear at a range of font sizes and are forgiving to those with poor handwriting (I'm looking at you, ξ)4. They come from a dead language, so who's going to complain other than old norse specialists.This handles many of the disadvantages of say: Chinese characters (too many, and I know over 2000) Hangul / Kana / etc. (multiple sensible choices for a given consonant) Hebrew / other abjads (none that correspond to vowels)Some problems: 1. Basically none of you know them. Consult your local tiktok fortune teller for a brief intro2. The standard futhark order does not really correspond to latin/greek orderEdit: 3. Poor font support for Runes. They are at least assigned standard unicode codepoints in the Runic block, so this could be mitigated over time. In tex there is the "allrunes" package at least, although I have never tried it.

Ur Ya'arTIL: "The use of the symbol ∈ (a stylized form of the Greek epsilon) to denote membership was initiated by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano in 1889. It abbreviates the Greek word ἐστί, which means "is".

Eric DannewitzI did my first conversion from Finale to Dorico. It's not bad. There is going to be a learning curve for sure, but generally it’s not bad. I just need to get the larger time signatures to happen (sorta my thing in Finale) and I'd love to get the curly repeats happening in Dorico.I think how it does parts is pretty cool. Kinda like if Finale had ever decided to do it. MakeMusic always sorta half-assed introduced new features but never really finished them……<a href="https://musician.social/tags/dorico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dorico</a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/finale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#finale</a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/notation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#notation</a>

ericdanoIf you haven’t heard, the LONG TIME notation software (which I use), Finale, is <a href="https://www.finalemusic.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">going to be sunset</a>. I think it is a terrible business decision. It would have been like Apple deciding to stop doing the Mac when it was in it’s iPod phase. Or it’s iPhone phase. Finale has been a stable, reliable platform to do music on. I have 24 years invested in this program. Thousands of Finale Files. I think MakeMusic’s pivot to “MakeMusic Cloud” is myopic. There has been talk of perhaps one of the other software packages being able to open FinaleFiles natively. That would be nice. The current “solution” of exporting stuff out from Finale into MusicXML format is less than ideal.So, what notation packages are remaining then? There is Sibelius. I’ve NEVER gotten into the Sibelius workflow. Ever. I have bought it a couple of times, and just never liked it.There is the free <a href="https://musescore.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Musescore</a>. Honestly, it has come a LONG WAY. But it still has a long way to go. While simple leadsheets it can tackle, anything more looks like it would be rough. So that leaves us with Dorico, the software started by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibelius_(scorewriter)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ex-Sibelius developers after Avid gutted the original team</a>. I tried it, and it has a lot of Sibelius like things about it. BUT……it does seem more Finale like than the other options. How it does linked parts is sorta how I think Finale would have eventually done it……if they ever got around to it. Finale was really frustrating as it would introduce a feature……but it would have issues. They would wait a release or two, and then “fix it” and tout it as a new feature. Anyhow, I tried, and I exported the “Zinn Practice regimen” to it. Looks pretty good. I need to get more of my “style” set up in it, but generally, it’s not bad.  Zinn Practice Regimen 2024 (913.0 KiB, 0 hits) You do not have permission to download this file.

Eric DannewitzSo I will PROBABLY end up buying the templates for either Sibelius or Dorico and then having to tweak them to how I want stuff to look.I kind of am leaning towards Dorico or Musescore. I have a visceral hatred of Sibelius and Avid's handling of it and just Avid in general. Plus every time I’ve tried Sibelius, I find I can't stand how it works.<a href="https://musician.social/tags/finale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#finale</a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/dorico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dorico</a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/notation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#notation</a>
