Joost Witte from the Netherlands emulates the hand writing of J.S.Bach and
shares his research into Bach's calligraphy in a practical way. Very well worth a visit.

Finding decent pens for clear copies is difficult. While I love felt tips and fountain pens, a goose quill is a bridge too far.
I have his YouTube videos on a loop playing in the background right now. I'd love a digital font like that for Musescore. I do use Elam Rotem's
Serenissima font

I'm a huge fan of Clinton Roemer's
The Art of Music Copying. It's nearly a lost art now.

As a non-violinist, looking at all those 32ths and 64th notes is intimidating. I realize the beaten tempo is actually slow by comparison, but....
