BTW, the examples above are done: 1. Schott in SCORE Are you sure? The example from Odod looks like the "SchottMusic" font in Finale, but not the SCORE font. BTW, Schott seems to have a dedicated Finale and a dedicated Sibelius font: Finale: https://web.archive.org/web/20160412145338/http...
Odod, this really looks great! AFAIK the only font that comes close to this handwritten look is Max Keenlyside's "Rodgers & Hammerstein" font (Download: http://www.maxpiano.ca/Handwritten.zip ). But R&H doesn't look so elegant, it's more the handwritten Broadway scores style that i...

Still the problem is the same when you only have one collision per page: you have to decide what to do with the spacing. And if you look at a ...
>it does seems strange when a chord symbol runs into a resting measure A good aspect! So one could even differentiate between the Cmin7 in measure 2 and in measure 6. Haven't thought of that.

Finale's default spacing without chords enabled 2.) Finale's default spacing with chords enabled 3.) Plugin solution 1 (&quo...
Here is the solution that John was referring to (I think).
