NOTATIO

It does indeed. I'm currently talking to "support" about the fact that you can write the 'note' attribute of a glyph (ie. a comment note, not a musical note!) -- but you can't read it! So in order to use the SMuFL names in the font JSON file, you can either rename the glyphs with the SMuFL...

I've written an article for Scoring Notes about my experience of making a SMuFL font. Not much I haven't expressed here, in one place or other, but it's nice to have it all coming together. https://www.scoringnotes.com/tutorials/how-to-make-a-smufl-font/ I'm working on python scripts for FontLab 7 t...

If a good engraver can get decent results from any software, then the opposite is also true!

Certainly, the simplest design is to have the flags be identical, just flipped. But that doesn't mean that more precision shouldn't be used.

Interestingly, in the examples of engraved clef changes, the clefs don't sit on the G line, but are much lower: presumably this is done to stop the ball hitting the staff line, and to get the loop at the top sitting nicely in a space.

Isn't that what the gClefSmall glyph in SMuFL is supposed to be? An optically sized clef for use at small sizes. Which would then kind of make sense that as the size approaches full size, the symbols reverts to the 'normal' size one.

I don't think that Dorico 'double dips' the scaling. There's an Engraving Option for the size of clef change clefs, but the default should be a 66%-sized clef, even if it is the small glyph. You're right that from 71% upwards, it uses the standard clef glyph, scaled. More confusingly, the small clef...

I admire the people who stick with Finale for their ability to tolerate frustration. Love it! I've updated Sebastian v1.01, with various fixes and improvements. It now has the best bracket wings and breves of any font! Unless there are any major problems or glaring issues, then I think it's a prett...

One thing you might want to change is the text fonts: I think you've used Plantin? If you want to match the original, I'd use Monotype Modern Bold.

I am looking to collate the various academic books, papers, essays, and presentations concerning music notation. Please post any you can think of: All of them? There has been 'quite a lot'. Most texts on the subject of music will describe or discuss notation at some point: Gaffurius, Practica Music...
