Re: Colored sheet music
I would avoid blue score. It is more difficult to read. Just music is black, everything else blue seems to be good. Or if you really need blue, you can take darker variant (as Knut suggested), but I guess it must be in accordance with the color of the (Jewish) flag, that would not be appropriate...(...

Re: Best notation for 'out of tune' natural harmonics?
If they go more toward the ponticello, maybe even more harmonics can be produced. I would use just circles, and approximate notation (regular). Maybe also accidentals in parenthesis as narrow down or narrow up. How much - no need to make it so in detal, anyway you cannot play other harmonics between...

Re: Composers vs Engravers: Stems and Slurs part 2
Agree with you!
Do you see, both are missing the word "energico" and "cresc" in M2, and "^" at the first note and
Also the tempo is = 76.
Also wrong stem direction in M2, RH.
Is there any Urtext edition?
Maybe Cantilena Press?

Re: Divisi double stops - Brahms
The reason is voicing. The whole notes are having invisible stems. The voice 2 is down-stemed placed on the right. I would probably have written that on two separate staves … In any case a large symphony orchestra's 2nd violin section of 12 or 14 players might avoid double stopping altogether and pr...

Re: Font feedback
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.

Re: Font feedback
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?

Re: Font feedback
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,...

Re: Abjad 2.19 released
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...
