Re: Font feedback

Lovely! One thing you might consider: in your music example the Roman and Italic style don't appear to have same weight. I would compensate the Italic style by being taller, also, in music as it is with your "f molto espressivo" - I tend to have larger texting, if your is 12 pt, than try 1...

Re: Software recognition, by eye

Looks like Finale to me. There are a lot of things that indicate so (treble/bass cords, etc.), but the system brackets and grand staff brace is a dead giveaway. Cheers! I did zoom right into the clefs and braces of this score and also of a score that I knew was engraved in Finale, and they seemed p...
