NOTATIO

Thicker staff lines require correspondingly larger and heavier noteheads to match, in addition to other suitably heavy elements. Opus (like most modern music fonts) has relatively anemic noteheads and is designed with a very light line weight in mind (not to mention the other horrific design elemen...

The "rule" in classical (text) typography is everything starts on the right (odd-numbered) page, so your first example is preferable. Of course, page turning issues may dictate differently, and indeed the music starts on the left page more often than not. As for orchestra full score, where...

In case you are looking for a general impression, I find the DS font much more visible and therefore more appropriate for figured bass than Opus. However, the symbols are a little large and positioned a little far from the staff and from each other vertically for my taste. On the other hand, the 76...

I did try and port the Bravura glyphs for figured bass in a Sibelius mapped font. In fact, I started with a copy of Opus figured bass font and ported all the glyphs in their proper slots. Many glyphs I did create by twining two glyphs, for example, Bravura lacks the figure bass altered glyphs, such ...

I just uploaded the revised version to the Github page. (https://github.com/fkretlow/sebastian) Thank you! I created a whole set of numerals in different sizes while working on the fonts. They were all derived from the symbols for time signatures. As for the ligatures, I just knew you could combine...

May I ask, would you please give us the link to the revised font?
And, am I permitted to use the glyphs to make a Sibelius-friendly font?
Only for personal use.

I am using Norfolk font, the Sibelius version of Bravura, and I am fairly happy with that (I do like Opus as well, however). The authors didn't port the figured bass glyphs from Bravura to Norfolk, so I am obliged to use the Opus figured bass font which I don't like at all (I do like the Bravura gly...

I second odod's request, please share.

Here, attached.

Thank you very much, OCTO.
And thanks a lot to odod as well, for advicing on line thickness.

Btw, I would use different slur settings than yours if you further want to remove the Sibelius-look. I have somewhere pretty nice settings, I need to find them, I can post. slur is one of the things that i dislike on Sibelius :( and it would be nice if you would like to share it I second odod's req...
