Re: Florian's Nepomuk - and reimagining a Durand score
OK, will add the Roman letters. I also have some more kerning adjustments! Thanks for the French correction. My schoolboy French is in need of some work. The Durand publication is known to have several misprints, but I'm trying to find out what they are! I think I'll keep the look of the original, t...

Re: Florian's Nepomuk - and reimagining a Durand score
(mostly some kerning the regular lowercases and adding Roman numerals for barré). I've been working on catching and improving the kerning for a few days, and now have a v2.01 release available. Also Small Caps! I could add the Roman Numerals very easily: do you mean in their Unicode text positions,...

Re: Florian's Nepomuk - and reimagining a Durand score
:???: err... Bolder than what..? I created the Bold fonts entirely; they're essentially 'thickenings' of the Regular and Italic styles, with a bit of tidying up. I've worked on them a bit more since I made the PNGs -- so the fonts should be slightly bolder now than in the PNGs. They're just bold eno...

Re: Florian's Nepomuk - and reimagining a Durand score
Thanks, John. Noted. It's a bit tricky with flat slurs when they need to ride over a 'bump' like a tuplet numeral. I've been working on the fonts all yesterday, getting the diacritics and kerning more organized within the font documents, improving the 'emboldening', smoothing out rough edges, and ma...

Re: Florian's Nepomuk - and reimagining a Durand score
If anyone wants to try out the fonts, you can find them here. I've added loads of additional characters -- diacritics, currency symbols, non-breaking hyphens, Unicode accidentals, and other things likely to be of use.

Re: Simple 4/4 grouping poll
As a professional sightreader ... A is clearest. 3 beats, then worry about subdividing. I think I'd prefer A for Number 2 too. I'd definitely want 2A if the first note was a rest. B might give clarity depending on the texture in the other parts. If something is happening on the half-bar in the music...

Florian's Nepomuk - and reimagining a Durand score
I've been working with Florian's Nepomuk text fonts, which, like Ionian and Octo's own Old Music Standard, are designed to match the punched text often found on 20th century plate engraving. I've tightened up the Tracking and Kerning, which makes the Regular face much more suitable for lyrics (and a...

Re: First post: Feedback on a score (typesetting, fonts, cover, etc)
Welcome! Lovely bit of work. I'd suggest that the slurs and ties are a bit thick; and some of the little ones on page 9 need adjustment, being too 'horse-shoe' shaped. The piano brace should have some air between it and the system. What fonts have you used? They're very nice. Bodoni for the titling ...

Re: Finale Maestro Wide font discontinued
Similarly, is there a font map anywhere for Finale Maestro? I haven't been able to find one. That would be a handy reference. The search function within the font window is good, but if you don't know the title or categorization of certain glyphs, there can be a lot of scrolling. Well, most of them ...

Re: Finale Maestro Wide font discontinued
You do't need a SMuFL version of Maestro Wide, just use the SMuFL version: Finale Maestro bundled with Finale v27, then if you need to change the note-heads, select them through Noteheads Set.. / Default Noteheads... /and grab the wide notes from Maestro Wide. Not sure if Finale v27 still installs ...
