Wow! Looks like you have it covered.
The only thing I see missing is something about talking to composers/
clients. You mentioned a few times with me about how part of your job
was education and how hard it was to tread a fine line between
pissing off the client and helping him. That is something I haven't
mastered yet, and few geeks have, either. Funny how almost everything
technical comes down eventually to human interactions (like your take
on graphic design being about the human eye and brain!)
I hope this seminar is documented!

hi, i'm putting together a seminar (more like a lecture and
workshop) looking at aspects of new music notation and eventually
also finale tips.
wondering if anyone has any comments -- having seen my work or
knowing my views on new music notation -- about what YOU would hope
i would address if you were attending the seminar. *please contact
me off-list*
the format i am preparing is for 2-3 hours but the first one has to
be 4 hrs (ugh). topics will be presented as "modules" so i can
easily adjust for different lengths / needs. modules in
development are: basic graphic design considerations, font use,
notation standards (trad. and cont.), overview of notation reform
proposals, score types and their function, transcription session of
new music fragments with comparison of results, group discussion
dissecting a published score in minute detail to determine how it
could be improved, use of plugins and other software (workflow),
and resources (bibliography, fonts and other tools).
any comments would be greatly appreciated.
oddly enough the first time i give this will be at a sibelius
conference...
