Up- and down- flags: different widths
Posted: 24 Feb 2021, 23:19
Sorry if this has already been discussed.
I was reading Leonardo Vinci’s “Erighetta e don Chilone”, ETS Edition, and I noticed the down-stem note flags have a larger width than the up-stem’s:
I - sort of - like it. The down-stem flags nicely support the nothehead, while the up-stem flags don’t eat too space.
I looked in my library and found only another edition doing the same. Corpus of Early Keyboard Music, Bernardo Storace “Selva di varie composizioni”:
I like it somewhat less, there is too difference in width.
So I gave a quick look at Elbsound web site and found only two fonts doing the same, Capella engraver and Engraver fontset. I didn’t check all the fonts there, however.
What is the consensus,is this a viable solution? Or it is required the upstem and downstem flags to be exactly the same width?
EDIT: I have edited the two pictures in order to make them smaller, from 7Mb both to 400kb. Sorry admin and all.
