Re: Cross Staff - spacing
Just thought I'd test the waters a little bit more with LilyPond's algorithms. Here are all the samples on Maslanka's website we've been referring to, shown with/without optical corrections: lilypond-optical-spacing-showcase.png And here's OCTO's follow-up that is an excellent case study: lilypond-o...

Re: Cross Staff - spacing
I think that OCTO's edited Finale version is actually better, because the notes in each hand should be equally spaced on each staff through the measure, even if they are not equally spaced in relationship to the note heads in the other hand. FWIW, I completely agree as well. To be completely honest...

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 may be wrong, but I don't think the braking of S-curves only has to do with compati...

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?
