Re: più and meno as dynamic modifers

Re: Let's talk Manuscript Paper, Pens and other copying materials
During the 1970s, most of the copyists who worked for Arnold Arnstein used, believe it or, not an automatic pen, but a simple holder armed with a very specific pen point, the Esterbrook 312 "Judge's Quill", which was the perfect pen point for music copying. It had with a long flexible tip...

Re: SCORE 3.1 [Looking to Buy]
Actually, SCORE did not use a music font. Everything was vector based except for actual text items.
The Leland font was an attempt to reproduce the look of SCORE. Note that your quoted text states "modeled after".
