NOTATIO

In my opinion Maestro NH are one of the best on the market. Also, SCORE has very nice and stable NH. Off of the top of my head, I seem to remember the Maestro noteheads were designed by Blake Hodgetts and were based on the London Boosey publications printed by Halston. At the time I had talked him ...

Sorry, I read pg 1 on my phone earlier, and forgot you had already mentioned this by the time I got around to posting.

Oh, and Gould says ledger lines should be 200% on pg 26. Perhaps this is ok with very thin staff lines, but it looks too thick to my eye with either .1 spaces or .125 for the staff lines. Ross just says it should be "somewhat thicker" on pg 182.

Fred had stated earlier that ledger lines should be about 125% thicker than staff lines, which is in agreement with the majority so far. I do think that this is somewhat reliant on what the staff line thickness actually is though. In my example I was using 3 EVPU staff lines and 3.75 ledger lines. ...

I doubt I'm going to change anyone's mind, but I still prefer my just slightly thicker settings in real world performance settings. Here are 4 different versions of the same page (recent rush job) with staff lines and stems changed, printed on my normal 9.5x12.5 performance paper, about performance ...

Tedd Ross says that stems should be "somewhat thinner than staff lines" and actually calls a counter-example "Bad". (page 82) Gould says this too. On pg 13 she writes, "Stems should be thinner than the stave-line, but not so thin as to reproduce too faintly." In all ho...

Schott, in their digitally engraved scores, use this one as well as versatile set of symbols specially designed for them (for Score 3. and 4. versions)

Ah, good to know, thanks!

Perhaps a serious LilyPond user like Schneider will chime in, but I believe LilyPond handles music fonts quite differently than other notation programs. If you download Beethoven for example, you'll notice that there are actually 8 fonts plus a brace font. From the naming structure, Beethoven-11, 13...

Thanks OCTO! If anyone is interested, here are the other braces in that comparison jpeg: 1) Bach inventions re-published by Alfred, no idea who the original publisher/engraver was 2) Boosey house style guide 3) Finale default 4) Gould 5) Henle 6) Ted Ross 7) Schirmer from 1945 8) Schirmer house styl...
