Yes, I agree. Though, Scarlatti hasn't so many ornament signs, just a longer or shorter "shake" (the usual pralltriller or mordant). Nothing comparable to the French's or Bach's tables of ornaments. Its meaning is to be imagined as we have no table of ornaments, and it seems more than like...

I just checked on the Fadini edition, which looks like an excellent critical edition. Ricordi says that it is free from editorial suggestions etc. so what is still needed is a complete, well-edited, urtext edition at a reasonable price. Something like what is available for the complete works of all...

John, it’s a pity very few people outside the harpsichord world (and even inside the harpsichord world) do know the Fadini Edition (Ricordi publ.). Emilia Fadini was an Italian scholar and harpsichordist who dedicated her life to Scarlatti and to concerts and teaching (most of the nouvelle vague of ...

There is a very interesting discussion on Typedrawers, concerning a new software for rinascimental music, music fonts and the like.

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I was reading Leonardo Vinci’s “Erighetta e don Chilone”, ETS Edition, and I noticed the down-stem note flags have a larger width than the up-stem’s: IMG_9766p.jpg I - sort of - like it. The down-stem flags nicely support the nothehead, while the up-stem fla...

Time to produce fonts with different weights to adapt to the various line widths? I mean, something like the "pro" text fonts: caption, regular, display and so on. I didn’t know until today, but I discovered this is something Lilypond does, hence the fonts coming with LP come in different...

We do say that :) It's maybe worth pointing out that the weight of the symbols in SCORE's output is down to what line width setting you use when printing (i.e. generating the EPS); that determines what width of stroke is applied to the paths of all symbols, though it's possible to specify a modifie...

From here: https://notat.io/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=695 It is font Vienna, used in Finale. I do love that font too, and yes half notehead is one of the finest among all fonts in my opinion. It is based on SCORE. Thanks OCTO. After reading your post I did a research on SCORE-derived fonts, and found ...

N. 3. It is dark and very legible notwithstanding the low x-height. It’s condensed, which helps in many scores.
