Several attendees have already offered their own recaps of the weekend if you’d like more details about the content of presentations, the series posted by our friends over at I Here of Sherlock Everywhere is highly recommended. That’s how I justify the fact that we ate two brunches on Sunday, one of which was attended by a pint each of mimosas, but I’m getting ahead of myself. We packed in as much of each as was reasonable, then did more, because Holmes was not one for moderate behavior, and neither are we. As is de rigueur for Sherlockian gatherings, there were erudite and witty presentations to hear, delicious meals to eat, adult beverages to drink, and engrossing conversations to hold. It was filled with chances to view and handle rare Sherlockian treasures of the artifact variety, as well as meet and renew friendships with rare Sherlockian treasures of the human variety. From start to finish, the event, hosted by the inestimable duo of Steven Doyle and Mark Gagen of Wessex Press (quick! Buy all the books!), was a joy. Last weekend BSBs Kristina and I (Ashley) attended Gillette to Brett IV, a symposium on Sherlockian adaptation held on the gorgeous campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. September 21st, 2014 by The Baker Street Babes If you are saying the default breath mark placement in this particular instance is fine to your eyes, and you’d expect it to look like that in actual published music, I’ll think twice about changing the default setting.From meta to Nigel Bruce in a lily pond: Gillette to Brett IV And from your Making Notes blog, which I have been following for the last few years, I got the impression that you certainly are a lot more of an engraving expert than myself, which is why your opinion on this issue does indeed matter to me. I bought Dorico in the first place because of its promise of doing this kind of things just right by default. But I don’t consider myself a music engraving expert. You’re right, I can adjust the default position of the breath marks, which is great. (It took me a while before figuring out that pressing enter didn’t work either. I just think using the mouse is more intuitive in this case. Yes, being able to enter text edit mode by hitting enter will certainly help! It would also be nice if double-clicking the currently selected frame did the same, instead of selecting the other frame, though. Am I just missing a modifier key or something? Is there a way to edit the text inside without having to move away the frame first? The frame seems to be z-layered below the Title frame, but I would not need to adjust the z-layering if there was a way to “click-through” the Title frame. I have created a frame with the “EG 421” text, which I have lined up to the Title frame. Why are the breathe marks so close to the following note? To me, this looks awkward especially in the bass line. Seems Lilypond does this “right” by default.)

Of course, I could achive this by inserting a manual line break, but hopefully there is an automatic way? (I cannot remember ever having had this problem with Lilypond, btw. Or should this be left as is from an engraving point of view? (The original edition has it spread out evenly across the two systems.) However, I have a few questions, the most important one being: How do I get Dorico to spread the music evenly across the two systems? I know there is a way to force it to spread the second system across the whole page, but that does not look very good, of course. I used Dorico to retypeset this piece of music in g minor, which has worked great so far:
