One of the possible functions that the rastral sizes could have in the digital engraving is determination of the laser printer fixed outputs, conformity with printers. You can have power of 300, 600, 1200, and so on dpi print outs. And this is very important with lines. In Finale you can have ANY li...

Ben, that is very interesting. The old way of rastral sizes had its logical purpose. One of the "misses" of the digital engraving applications is that they allow resizing to any size equally. Also it is allowed (in Finale) to have each system resized differently and to resize small staves....

As such, in TS I would avoid these. My taste tells me that they cannot be easily readable from 2 meter distance. Yes indeed, my point exactly. The goal is for the numerals in the bold font to be the same as the time signature numerals in the music font. Hopefully the numerals in the regular and ita...

But perhaps I would use them as text such as Flute 2 . If your fonts work perfectly on Windows and OS X I would like to use them. I ...

Knut, FreeSerif is meant to replace all textual fonts at once. For instance, no ONE single font can create latin alphabet and following: - accidentals, clefs, articulation, styled expressions - different types of arrows - extended types of vertical and horizontal braces of any length - non latin alp...

Wow, that is very nice. I would like to use it. When will it be released?

I have finally managed to create a compatible font for OS X and Windows. It is (as before) derivate of Free Serif https://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/ I left the regular font intact and added SemiBold version, which is one that has to be used as music text (expressions, technique). It displays goo...

In the full orchestral score, do we group with sub-bracket Oboes with English Horn, Bassoons with Contrabassoon and Clarinets with Bass Clarinet?

As far as a remember 'Flattened beams based on standard note' option was added to produce more pleasant, flatter beams. Since I use Patterson Beams consistently, I always have this setting at 'Flatten beams based on extreme note', because the plug-in requires it for best results. Good to know. Now ...
