[oll-user] Engraving challenge

[Phil H. <ma...@ph...>]

I've started to look at the engraving challenge, and one thing that I think 
makes this not the best challenge: it looks like it's just a page from a 
piece, rather than the piece itself.  As a result, there's no title 
information, etc., and not even a time signature.  I presume it's 4/4 and 
will use this, but without messing around that will put one extraneous 
element on the output from Sibelius: i.e. a time signature.

The other issue is that this is clearly an odd piece of music - the beaming 
patterns are very atypical, and any music typesetting program with require 
substantial hacking to set this.  Some of the crossing notes are not really 
all that easy to read - see the 2nd beat of bar 3, for example.  And I 
assume there's lots of unmarked triplets all over the place?  Would it not 
be better to start with a piece that follows the recommendations of the 
typesetting manuals?
