It is available at IMSLP. The piece seems to be written before 1923.

However, I think that the whole point of Jan's tool is to represent various musical fonts, and I enjoy it very much. I am not so much concerned by the exactness in engraving adjustments.

Lets be careful, as a point of clarification, that "fair-use" refers to works under current copyright, whereas "public domain" refers to works which are unrestricted in their copyright access.

I believe your Emmentaler font is not updated to the most current iteration. It seems to be an iteration before 2.16/18 where they updated and tweaked many things in the font scheme (most notable, the change in the G clef)

OCTO, have you actually downloaded the Berg from at IMSLP?

As I said, it is "blocked" here at IMSLP. When I try to download it from IMSLP, all I get are blank pages. And this is explained at:

John, I don't know if IMSLP offers different outputs to different worldwide locations, but when I try to download the Berg score here in Germany it works fine (click on "Complete score" on http://imslp.org/wiki/4_St%C3%BCcke,_Op.5_(Berg,_Alban) ) . No empty pages. It also says "Public Domain" on the page.

DatOrganistTho, thanks for the notice ! Yes, the Emmentaler seems to be an older version: 2.12.2. I will update it.

Thanks, Jan. It's very strange. I normally use Safari which has never given me issues in downloading from IMSLP, but I continue to get blank pages as in previous attempts to download this work this year. But with Firefox there is no issue. I was finally able to download it.

So thankfully, IMSLP considers this work to be in public domain.

Posts here have used "awesome" and "amazing" to describe your comparison facility.

I concur completely. Really nice!

Thanks a lot for all your comments - especially John's: every constructive feedback helps to improve a product.

If you like to support the JW Lua project(s) for Finale, you can donate to Jari Williamson (http://www.finaletips.nu/index.php/down ... ns-for-mac). As MakeMusic doesn't support third party plugin development from new developers anymore, only Jari can fill the gap with his own development kit that still gets support from MM.

If anyone is interested in more background info on the music font comparison, Robert Puff from the OF NOTE blog published an article I wrote on music font integration in Finale:
