[Finale] PDFs and Finale Files via the Internet

Music engravings have a lot of curves and shapes that have curved edges. Since most laser jet printers are 1200 DPI.I assumed when I created a PDF, I should opt for the highest possible quality setting (printer's quality); and picked 1200 DPI. But the publisher I sent the file to mentioned that

A highly laudatory and perceptive AP obituary ran today in the Philadelphia Inquirer and, I assume, many other papers. I found myself touched that the Inquirer referred readers to its website, where they have put up samples of Ligeti's music. Andrew Stiller Kallisti Music Press

Thanks to Phil and Michael. I will work on this. Very different from my image of 'pre-computer' system! I visualised an old man sat in a room with masses of index cards. Music was broken down to something like 5-1-1--71-3-3-2-5-etc (in quaver=220) = (Hark the herald angels sing) Then somehow he

I'm not getting part of this discussion. Aren't PDFs created from Finale files (not scans) just mathematical equations describing the lines and curves? So they will retain the exact same resolution no matter what? So any discussions of DPI are not germane to the topic, as they have no effect

But the publisher I sent the file to mentioned that the sizes were pretty huge. This seems odd. pdf and ps formats generally have much smaller file sizes than bitmapped ones - like tif. But even tif is not so bad these days with the enormous memories that most computers have. And a publisher,

Perfect! However, you may find this interesting. I just checked my library, and I have two different versions of this text. One edition reworks the words to conform to the rhythm rather than the rhyme: Come shape of rest, and shadow of my end.
