And now I would like to share with you guys, my favourite G-clef.

Can you guess who is the publisher?

BTW, the staff lines drawn in grey are very, really very close to the original (as width) —> 0.09 — 0.114 space.

Here are both clef side by side.
The one used in my font is a bit rotated. Consider it as a kind of ... caprice!
No, Of course, not! The reason for this variation is because all other clefs from this art was slightly rotated to the left, but this one was perfectly printed and I use it as a "model".

Behind the black digitalised cloning are seen the edges from the original (placed on the background) for reference.

Nice clef. Peters?

[wess-music]

Unbelievable, but it's Henle.

[Knut]

Really! I can see that based on the modest thickness of the strokes. Is this the clef from their old house style?

[wess-music]

Knut,

I will check tomorrow the year and the composition. My suspicious are that it was from some piano work.
It might turn out to be from some late 70, even 90. But I need to open my archives and to find it.

Till tomorrow!

Best regards,
Wess

I like this much more than the current Henle's .

So do I, OCTO.

While this clef is nice, and much closer to my own design, I very much like the current Henle clef on the basis of identity. The clef above is much more generic, while the current one, like many other aspect of their scores, is instantly recognizable. This is the only reason why I would never copy Henle's look as the basis for a music font. It's much too distinct in my opinion.

Thank you, Wess!

I find it strange though, that my copy of Henle's 2007 edition of WK uses the other clef style.
I would have thought that the clef we've been referring to as the 'current' treble clef would be used exclusively. Apparently that's not the case.
