NOTATIO

I think they say that Leland is 'inspired by', but not an exact copy. (In the same way that Hollywood films are often 'based on' historical events. )

No. 1 is the most "Traditional Modern" . But it could possibly be a bit heavier. 3 is second favourite. Again ,very much like classical engraving punch type.

No.4 is a kind of hybrid of the two.

What are they?

Nice tip! It's actually fairly easy to overwrite the OTF and relaunch Dorico with my test project. But that will be quicker. I'm going to add some more notehead types, now the noteheads are settled, and tidy up the ASCII end for Finale users. Then I'll release a 'beta' version for anyone who wants t...

I'm glad you like the dynamics! Re the noteheads: Yes, that's bad. 1 space is 250 pt (in font apps), so Bravura's noteheads are +/- 125pt from zero. The Sebastian originals are +/- 147, which is quite a bit bigger, and that's what you're seeing there. I've aimed for +/- 134, to give a slight 'kiss' ...

Florian created Sebastian, and I started working on a SMuFL version during a rainy holiday in September. We've been discussing it together. I have adjusted some things: the note flags and flag rests, particularly. Florian created a lot of variations: I've selected what I think are the best. I assemb...

I know we've all got time on our hands at the moment, but..... ! :lol: Have you seen Tantacrul's video showing you the SCORE workflow? :eek: SCORE was fairly expensive - back in the days when software was very expensive. I suspect the only purchases were made by companies, whose copies are now eithe...

I would try negotiation: "I plan to do this." "No, we'd like you to do it this way." "In order to achieve that, I'd need some accommodation on the word count of the Figs." Could you set it in Short Score to save space? Also: one other thought. Surely the publisher should be typesetting it, rather th...

Beautiful! Is that Sebastian? Here is a sample document designed to show off some of the glyphs in Sebastian. Obviously, it doesn't make musical sense and some aspects of the engraving will be Dorico's own (the lack of optical kerning on the cancellation naturals, for instance, which no app does we...

TBH, I don't think you would necessarily lose anything of your argument if you just printed the two variants as text, like additional verses of hymns. If you can't put the labels in the "Fig. 1" text, then they do cramp things somewhat.

Despite the attention that the flags got, I don't like the flags - particularly the downstem. They look a bit pinched. And various other things.

However, it has made me get back to work on Sebastian, and I hope to be sharing that with you soon. (And I both welcome and dread OCTO's keen eyes....!)
