Re: How to create a complete font?

Thanks for clarification, I guessed it correctly! :) Why should we not use just one type? Why TTF and OTF? I know a bit what difference is, but if we use OTF in Finale, Sibelius and others, wouldn't it just be OK? I agree. I think OTF is a great format, but TTF fonts are still popular. Most music f...

Re: How to create a complete font?

For your point 5. you believe that Portrace and Autotrace is not working well? I have tried it before, I don't remember how was the output, but the symbol was very clean. For point 4. - I am not quite sure what you mean, but I guess to have two dots that produce S curve? Maybe I need to give Potrac...

How to create a complete font?

I am curious what is the way to create a complete new font from zero. This is a great question. Personally, I would say the hardest part of creating a music font from scratch is achieving the proper b/w balance between glyphs. This is more than just the glyph design, too, because the truth is, in t...

Re: [workbench] Brahms Op. 119, No. 1

Ok. I just wanted to double check (since this thread seems to mostly be a discussion between Knut and John Ruggero, which has been awesome to follow), but which score are we supposed to be using as the "original" and which critical edits should we be including?

Somewhat OT, but rather strangely I can view your .tiff file in Safari, but not in (latest) Firefox, which I use by default. This also applies to your recent .tiff in another thread here, and with two different Mac OS.
I get the same experience using Opera.

As do I. And once again, LP doesn't disappoint (and nicely done, Knut!):

Re: How many slashes for unmeasured tremolos (including beamed)?

Sorry to bring this thread up again, but I have to ask since I'm pretty sure the tremoli in the Violin/Viola sections, top system, are intended to be played at the same repetitions regardless of the note's duration, but is the tremolo notation correct? Should they always have 4 tremolo slashes or sh...
