Proofreading process 2018-01-18 09:45 pm I’ve been pondering my process for proofreading. It’s not very systematic and it needs to be because I haveVersions of the same score for different ensembles or soloists. Questions:What is your step-by-step process for checking all the elements in your scores?Is there a plug in that could be developed or exists already to somehow aid in the process?Spell check for lyrics and text objects would be a start!I look forward to your responses!

Re: Proofreading process Reply #1 – 2018-01-18 10:19 pm Here is my cheat sheet, not only for proofreading, but for important things to do while arranging/composing.Some entries probably need more explanations - just ask if you are interested.I use two user tools that are mentioned in the cheat sheet:(a) "Adjust Performance" (actually, "adjust articulation") to replace articulation combinations that sound better with the standard ones used in print; and(b) ShowRanges to check whether I used too low/high notes.(The PDF is a quick translation from my German version - so maybe some terms are not accurate).(Edit: Re-uploaded PDF with a few corrections)H.M.
