NOTATIO

The omission occurs first! Sorry - that's the crucial bit of info.

The slurring is also sloppier at the start, and seems to improve, so perhaps they gave the first few pages to the apprentice.

I'm working on a piece of Haydn, from the original Breitkopf printed edition of 1780s. Similar musical phrases are repeated, but they seem to be written in two different ways. One like this: Screenshot 8.png and one like this: Screenshot.png EDIT: (the music appears without the triplet FIRST.) Now I...

My goal is ultimately to harmonize it with Trinite. That's a nice font. I looked at buying it, but £374.16 per weight, or the complete set discounted to £1,867.93 is a little out of my range. Font designers gotta eat, but still.... As for your clef: really interesting. It reminds me (and this is me...

And Vol 1 has an article by Frederic Goudy!

Making a font, Dan...?

I wonder: has anyone made a font of that old Breitkopf "modern type"? As for The Dolphin: I ticked the No.2 box with a page image, then clicked the Download 'icon" in the top right. Then under Downloads in the sidebar, I could download the file. (There's a bit of click-through, but th...

I used to have a book that was a little history of '400 years of music printing', produced by the British Library, (sadly, I can't find it on my shelves...), which covered all this stuff in sufficient detail. But this is lovely. And as with notation software, it's true that InDesign doesn't make you...

Just once again, to say how much I love your extraordinary insight.
