Re: Comparison of music text fonts

To my eye, the original Roman and Italic could do with closing up a little.

Re: Sebastian SMuFL font

And the font is installed in your system? Does it show in other apps? (The font is Finale-compatible, too.)

I've reinstalled it here, and it seems fine. You may need to clear your font cache.

Re: Sebastian SMuFL font

Works here. What platform are you on? Have you restarted Dorico? You may even have to restart on Windows, I believe.

What app are you using to make the fonts, and the metadata.json file?

Sebastian SMuFL font

OK, I think I've brought this font to some kind of working order. There are now 828 glyphs, so enough to cope with a range of music. I'd say the essential character of the font is for clear numerals and alphabet-based symbols: dynamics, C, etc. It's not as heavy as Bravura, but not as washed out as ...

Re: Comparison of music text fonts

With one simple command in FontLab, I've made Bold and Bold Italic weights of Nepomuk. Some manual kerning is probably in order, but it's a good start.

That's because music notation is something that's evolved over hundred of years. New symbols and rules are added, and other symbols exist because they...

Re: Dorico/Lilypond/SCORE?

How big are the slices? If I wanted a 34-foot high clef, would it be possible to set the slice size to be small enough? Having written quite a few tools for manipulating SCORE files, and therefore being pretty familiar with a lot of the internal workings, I did make a start on a sort of desktop clon...

Re: Floating Slurs cause some bubble-trouble

These are Dorico's relevant defaults. (There may be others...!) I suspect that the first bar or so of Clarinet has been manually adjusted.
