Six years after our “Score preparation and production notes” episode — Episode No. 2 — essentially launched the podcast, 163 episodes later, Philip Rothman and David MacDonald return to the article that inspired the conversation: David’s score preparation checklist. The principles — respect for performers, readable parts, enough time for page turns — are as true as ever. But almost every specific tool reference in the original has a fuller story now. The conversation moves section by section, serving as a reminder of the timeless principles and exploring all of the meaningful changes in the technology. Dorico’s live-reference cue system has become the standard no one else has matched — and the ease of it has quietly changed how generously cues get applied. The Dorico 6 Proofreading panel represents a new category of preparation tool, while the Sibelius plugin ecosystem has its own parallel answers. The condensing and decondensing workflows now available in both Dorico and Sibelius 2025.2 have transformed what was once among the most tedious jobs in parts preparation, and Sibelius 2025.7’s Auto-Respace toggle closes a gap that used to just be accepted. Two sections are entirely new to the checklist: digital delivery — where the iPad has become as common in rehearsal as a music stand — and a pointed look at the file-organization habits that make or break a delivery package. This one’s chock-full of tips, resources and advice — with David’s updated accompanying article to come soon.

Poucas obras na história da música conseguem unir natureza, espiritualidade e inovação como a Quinta Sinfonia de Jean Sibelius. Composta entre 1914 e 1919, em meio às turbulências da Primeira Guerra Mundial e ao aniversário de 50 anos do compositor, esta sinfonia tornou-se um marco da música finlandesa e mundial.O ponto culminante está nos seis acordes finais: monumentais, separados por silêncios que parecem suspender o tempo. Não são apenas notas — são golpes de eternidade, ecos de paisagens nórdicas, respirações cósmicas que deixam o ouvinte em estado de contemplação. Sibelius descreveu sua inspiração como se “Deus lançasse mosaicos do céu” e ele tivesse que descobrir o padrão.A sinfonia nasce da visão de cisnes voando sobre os lagos de Ainola, sua casa. O tema das trompas, majestoso e expansivo, traduz esse voo em música. É a natureza transformada em som, um hino à vida e à liberdade.Ao mesmo tempo, a obra dialoga com o restante do ciclo sinfônico de Sibelius: contrasta com a sombria Quarta, antecipa a clareza da Sexta e a síntese da Sétima. A Quinta é, portanto, um portal — uma ponte entre o desespero e a transcendência, entre o humano e o eternoApresentado por Aarão Barreto e Aroldo Glomb (cada semana um é o "pai da criança") Apoie o Conversa de Câmara.

There are plenty of things that make me feel old, for instance, when I remember that I used to have to go to the library to do research or that I didn't know who was calling me before I answered the phone. Here's another one that makes me feel positively ancient, and I promise you I'm not that old: I remember my mother handwriting music that my teacher wanted me to learn but was out of print. We didn't have easy access to a copier, although sometimes my dad could make a copy at his work. So, if I needed a piece of music that wasn't very long, my mother wrote it out for me. That feels practically Stone Age now. When I started arranging music and publishing it back in the 1990"s, there were two programs that most composers had to choose between - Finale and Sibelius. I chose Sibelius on the recommendation of one of my teaching colleagues at Curtis, and I still use it today. It had a pretty steep learning curve when I first started, and it is still a powerful program that takes a little while to figure out, probably too long for a casual user. In the years - okay, decades - since then, many more music notation programs and apps have come along, some of them as powerful, or nearly so, as the flagship programs, and for the most part, much simpler to use. This has meant that anybody with a modicum of patience for things technical can produce a professional-looking copy of a piece of music. That means progress for composers and arrangers. It also means progress for any of us, even those of us who just want to learn to play the harp better. That's because these apps aren't just for writing down music you've composed. They can also be useful practice tools.  So on today's show, I'm going to give you my take on three of the most popular and most user-friendly music notation apps, explaining the best features and the potential deal-breakers of each. I'll also share some strategies to use these tools to help you in your harp playing, whether you are interested in composing, arranging, or just a little curious.

What if your notation software could sing? At the top of this episode, we play a short clip, performed entirely in Dorico with NotePerformer handling the orchestra, and a plugin called Cantai rendering the baritone voice. That voice is synthesized directly from the Dorico score with minimal configuration, and it marks the arrival of something the notation world has been waiting for for a long time. Philip Rothman and David MacDonald talk with Richard deCosta, composer, software developer, and founder of Cantai and the Turing Opera Workshop, about what it took to build it. The conversation goes deep on the technology: why synthesizing the voice is fundamentally harder than synthesizing instruments, how the phonemizer works, why Cantai renders offline rather than in real time, and what it really means to build a plugin that reads a score rather than simply receiving MIDI. Richard also explains how years of frustration with the disconnect between notation and external vocal synthesis tools — from EWQL Symphonic Choirs and WordBuilder to ACE Studio and Synthesizer V — led to the central insight behind Cantai: that the lyrics were always there in the score; they just weren't being passed to the playback engine. We also dig into the ethical and business model Richard has built around the singers whose voices power Cantai. Every vocalist is contracted, paid a competitive recording fee, and receives an ongoing share of the product's profits in proportion to how much their voice is used. Cantai is already live for MuseScore Studio and Dorico, and arriving for Sibelius on May 30. The roadmap — more languages, less vibrato, Broadway and jazz styles, and a thought-provoking vision for the future of real-time vocal generation — gives us plenty to look forward to.

In April 1915, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius wrote in his diary about seeing 16 Whooper Swans overhead. He was entranced by both the sight and the sound of the swans. He watched them depart, “like a gleaming silver ribbon,” and declared the image one of the great experiences of his life. He then transformed that breathtaking, natural moment into music.

After a stretch away from the mic with NAMM coverage and a few product launches in the interim, Philip Rothman and David MacDonald return for an episode that, as David puts it, is “delightfully very nerdy.” To kick things off, David turns the tables and puts Philip in the interview seat, asking him about two significant sets of releases from Notation Central and NYC Music Services. On the Notation Express side, the big news is two-way communication between Dorico and the Stream Deck: buttons now light up to reflect what Dorico is actually doing in real time — active note durations, engaged accidentals and articulations, current mode, playback state, and more. Philip also walks through the new Note Tools folder, which lets users chain up to four buttons together to build a complete transposition or interval command before executing it in one shot, and touches on the Notation Express Keypad and the Virtual Stream Deck. The PDF Batch Utilities get equal time: native Apple Silicon builds that launch ten times faster, codesigning and notarization, source PDF info shown right in the file list, bookmarks in stitched output, smarter handling of one- and two-page files, and a brand-new fifth app — PDF-Counter — that drops a page-count CSV into any folder you throw at it. For the second half, Philip asks David about the utility apps that have quietly become indispensable in his day-to-day work. David talks through Dropzone, a Mac menu-bar app that makes dragging files to frequently-needed folders — or AirDrop, or a terminal window — almost frictionless, and Alfred, the customizable launcher he’s built out with custom searches (including a dedicated IMSLP search), file navigation shortcuts, and a direct line to his task manager. From there, the conversation turns back to the notation software itself, with a look at two features that deserve more attention than they get: Dorico’s Jump Bar and Sibelius’s Command Search, both of which let you find and fire any command just by typing for it.  Where might those tools go next, and what it would mean for notation software to understand what you’re asking for, not just what you typed?

Dagens Finland har uppstått i spänningen mellan två expansiva makter Sverige och Ryssland. Den östra riksdelen var en integrerad del av Sverige under en längre period än områden som Skåne och Blekinge.Integreringen av Finland i Sverige var en lång process som sträckte sig från vikingatiden till Nöteborgsfreden år 1323. Det var först när de svenskspråkiga befolkningsgrupperna fick stöd från den svenska statsmakten som de på allvar etablerades sig i Finland. Men rikssprängningen år 1808-09 innebar att vi skrev ut Finland från den svenska historien och glömde bort den svenskspråkiga i Finland. Detta är ett betalt samarbete med Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finland.I denna repris av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet och aktuell med boken Finlands svenska historia.Finland var aldrig en koloni till Sverige utan en integrerad del av landet precis som Södermanland eller Småland. Den finska allmogen och ståndspersoner var tidigt representerade på riksdagar och Finland beskattades inte hårdare är det som blev dagens Sverige. Viktigare var att både Sverige och Finland kom att inlämmas i den västliga kultursfären i och med den katolska kyrkans utbredning i både Sverige och Finland.Språket som identitetsmarkör blev viktig först under den ryska perioden när den finska nationalismen utvecklades. Svenska vs finska var ingen viktig fråga förrän självständigheten från Ryssland 1917. Identiteten var snarare knuten till den lokala platsen, religionen och den sociala positionen.Bild: Svecia, Dania et Norvegia, Regna Europæ Septentrionalia.

The writer and film-maker Penny Woolcock can't be pigeonholed: she's worked as a director at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and made a film about warring drug gangs on the streets of Birmingham.A passion for storytelling has driven her career, along with a rebellious streak, perhaps because she's something of an outsider and never went to university or film school. She often uses non-professional actors in her work, including a staging of Bach's St Matthew Passion with people who had experienced homelessness. And after completing her movie about rival gangs in Birmingham, she found herself helping to broker a peace deal between two of the actual gang leaders.Her musical choices include Shostakovich, Britten, Bach and Sibelius.Producer: Katy Hickman

This week, Kate Molleson traces the development of Jean Sibelius's symphonies. Set against Finland's changing political climate and Sibelius's own, turbulent personal circumstances, the podcast explores what shaped each symphony's character – from the nationalism surrounding Nos. 1 and 2, to the renewed sense of form in the Third, the more inward Fourth, and the reworked Fifth. The week concludes with the distinctive Sixth and the single‑movement Seventh, composed during a period of uncertainty both for Finland and Sibelius himself.Music featured includes: Symphony No 2 in D, Op 43 Song of my Heart, Op 18 No 6 Symphony No 1 in E minor, Op 39 The Diamond on the March Snow, Op 36 No 6 Sunrise, Op 37 No 1 Kyllikki, Op 41 No 3 Symphony No 3 in C, Op 52 The Captive Queen, Op 48 Erloschen String Quartet in D minor, Op 56 ‘Voces Intimae' Des Abends, Op 58 No 5 Symphony No 4 in A minor, Op 63 Spring's Spell, Op 61 No 8 Romance, Op 78 No 2 The Oceanides, Op 73 The Echo Nymph, Op 72 No 4 Symphony No 5 in E flat, Op 82 Jokamies, Op 83 Autrefois, Op 96b Symphony No 6 in D minor, Op 104 Danses Champêtres, Op 106 No 1 Symphony No 7 in C, Op 105Presented by Kate Molleson Produced by Luke Whitlock for BBC Audio Wales and WestFor full track listings, including artist and recording details, and to listen to the pieces featured in full (for 30 days after broadcast) head to the series page for Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002rr2jAnd you can delve into the A-Z of all the composers we've featured on Composer of the Week here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3cjHdZlXwL7W41XGB77X3S0/composers-a-to-z

At the 2026 NAMM Show, we interviewed representatives from the businesses in our field of music notation software and related technology. In this conversation, we speak with Sebastian Murgul, co-founder and CEO of klang.io, to talk about a category that sits just adjacent to music notation — and yet increasingly intersects with it in practical, unavoidable ways: music transcription. Sebastian explains what klang.io's tools are designed to do — and just as importantly, what they are not. We talk about why AI-based transcription has reached a point of practical usefulness now, where the hardest musical problems still lie, and how klang.io thinks about accuracy as something musicians can trust and build on, rather than a promise of perfection. We also discuss interoperability with notation software via formats like MIDI and MusicXML, real-world use cases that have surprised him, and the broader anxieties musicians understandably have around automation and AI.

Mannerheim: Från krigshjälte till queer-ikon

Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (1867–1951) var tsarofficer, överbefälhavare, president och nationalhjälte – men också en omstridd symbolgestalt i Finlands moderna historia. Hans liv och eftermäle har gett upphov Nordens mest långlivade och komplexa personkulter.Från inbördeskrigets vita seger till dagens identitetspolitiska debatter har Mannerheim betytt olika saker för olika generationer. I takt med att det finländska samhället förändrats har även bilden av marskalken formats om – från upphöjd landsfader till historisk projektionsyta för både dyrkan och kritik.I detta avsnitt av podden historia.nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Tuomas Tepora, författare till boken Mannerheim – Hjälte och antihjälte, om hur personkulten kring Gustaf Mannerheim vuxit fram, förändrats och utmanats i det moderna Finland.Under det blodiga inbördeskriget 1918 trädde Mannerheim fram som de vitas överbefälhavare. Han hyllades på den vita sidan som nationens räddare och symbolen för ett fritt och självständigt Finland. Samtidigt väckte hans namn avsky bland många på vänstersidan, där han förknippades med hårda efterkrigsåtgärder och brutalitet i fånglägren. Redan här växte en myt kring honom – en hjälte för vissa, en bödel för andra.Personkulten kring Mannerheim fick sin början i detta polariserade skede, då statsmakten och konservativa grupper började upphöja Mannerheim till något större än bara en militär ledare: en symbol för ordning, nation och seger. Samtidigt föddes också de första motbilderna – inom arbetarrörelsen, bland intellektuella och inom den växande vänstern.På 1930‑talet förändrades tonen. Trots Mannerheims tidiga kopplingar till högerextrema rörelser såsom Lapporörelsen började en ny nationell konsensus växa fram. Socialdemokrater och borgerliga kunde enas om Mannerheim som försvarare av nationens oberoende, särskilt i takt med att hoten från Sovjetunionen växte.Han blev en överideologisk gestalt, som förenade minnet av inbördeskriget med den pågående kampen för självständighet. Statyprojekt, födelsedagsfiranden och skolundervisning stärkte bilden av honom som nationens skyddshelgon. Myten blev också ett verktyg för att överbrygga tidigare inre motsättningar.Tuomas Tepora skriver ”Före hans död hade det på 1920–1930-talet byggts upp en personkult kring honom som flirtade med auktoritärism. Efter hans död kunde myten om honom inte kontrolleras på samma sätt som tidigare och den började få nya betydelser och syften.”I ett öppet samhälle som Finland präglas personkulten inte av enhetlighet utan av mångfald och motsättningar. Mannerheim har varit både hjälte och antihjälte, visionär och relik, kosmopolit och nationalist. Just därför fortsätter hans gestalt att fascinera – som ett prisma genom vilket Finland ser sig självt.När Mannerheim dog i januari 1951 blev hans begravning en av de mest storslagna ceremonierna i Finlands historia. Tusentals människor kantade Helsingfors gator, radiokanaler tystnade och kyrkklockor ringde över hela landet. Den kollektiva sorgen blev ett uttryck för respekt – men också för ett slags nationellt bokslut över det krigstida Finland.Bild: Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim fotograferad på sin 75-årsdag år 1942 i ett sällsynt färgfotografi.

We talk a lot about fonts on the Scoring Notes podcast. But there was a time when there were no music fonts. And then, there was one. Cleo Huggins, on the staff of Adobe in 1986, designed Sonata, the very first music font. It’s hard to imagine today, but it was revolutionary at the time, and a leading industry publication called it the “Music Product of the Year”. Sonata provided the blueprint for the core music fonts later created for use in Finale and Sibelius, but it may surprise you to learn that Sonata was created without any one particular music software product in mind. Cleo tells Philip Rothman and David MacDonald about her early studies with some of the great typographic experts of the 1970 and 1980s, and how her work in graphic design, 3-D animation, background as a violinist, and a key meeting with Steve Jobs about the launch of the first Macintosh computer all led to her taking responsibility for creating Sonata. Cleo discusses the revolution in PostScript technology and the introduction of the laser printer, and how that made it possible for her to create a high quality music font that was unconstrained by limitations of bitmapping. She recalls the various sources of inspiration and research she did — everything from Bach’s manuscript to the Music Writer, to Notaset dry transfer sheets — and the process of regularizing beautiful calligraphy without losing the distinctive elements of music notation. She also recalls thinking about all the minute details from careful placement to the key mapping of each character, and the feedback received from early music software pioneers eager to incorporate Sonata into their programs. Cleo’s career moved on from Sonata to a variety of endeavors, all propelled by a deep curiosity and propensity to good, and we talk about that too — and ask her if she’d ever come back to the world of music fonts, with all of the progress that has taken place in the nearly four decades since her groundbreaking work transformed the history of music notation.
