NOTATIO

That is excellent!
However I would run italics one point larger than roman in your example.
Good job, and I am looking forward to see it in vivo.

I like the new version much more. I would add also some very slight boldness, but that is my taste.
From the picture above your is musically the most beautiful! Great, Knut!
BTW; what is the last font?

Can you make a test, by looking at this picture from 2m distance? I feel that the italic is smaller than roman. Look here: Untitled.png Sul tasto is very large in comparing with molto espressivo. MAYBE: to add more space between the letters in the italic version. I feel they are a bit cramped. Also,...

Yes, indeed MJCube. I did the same. Interesting observation about the empty bars! I might try use this in my scores to see how it works. BTW; have you noticed the stem lengths, seem to be longer than octave. Whoever made this score must be proud of - please send this to Boosey, Peters (etc) for insp...

And of course some fonts appear smaller than others at the same point size. Good to know. Bulmer MT Disp...

Do any of you guys print your own manuscript from software like Sibelius or Finale? What paper do you use and what do you think of it? I do. Important: do not print on white paper. It is painful for your eyes. (My dyslectic colleague has revealed that when he changed from white to colored, he could...

Nice one!
I guess this is Finale?
