Re: Score Modern - a text font
I'm vacillating between really liking the noteheads and not liking them. Very clear to read! Yes, I understand the feeling! I have finally come to accept it as the best half notehead shape. As far as I understand, it’s essentially derived from SCORE. OCTO, your fonts are always on point! You’re m...

Score Modern - a text font
It is closely related to the main font in LaTeX, Computer Modern, thus name Score Modern . It is designed so that it can be read from distance, somehow "punched". It is also similar to Old Music Standard . I have tested it so far in Sibelius on MacOS. Give a try and let me know what you th...

Re: Confusing minim and crotchet combination
A composer must exactly follow notation rules, just as in mathematics.
Here is an example of voicing in Scriabin's Sonata No. 7. While it may first seem illogical, an 'aha!' moment is what comes afterwards! The total number of voices is—five.

Re: time signature font or symbol
I'm looking for a font or simple symbols that I can use in text layout programs for time signatures. They are surprisingly hard to find, even in the several music fonts I have. TIA It depends. What typesetting software do you use? If you are serious about the outcome, I would recommend using LaTeX....

Re: “Vintage Plate”: My new SMuFL Font for Dorico
Bravo Nordine!
I like the more heavy lines, particularly it is obvious in the Ferneyhough example. It is almost needed in order to balance the font.
I think you use Old Standard as a font type, which is somehow too thin and sharp-elegant. Check my Old Music Standard, try it with your examples.

Re: About the use of rehearsal marks
In a large multi-movement, or even more a multi-scene and multi-act piece, numbered rehearsal marks that continue their sequence for the entire piece are a quick way to a given place when a question is asked if there are numerous bar number regions (and thus many bars 107 [eg]). 1st bassoon to DW a...
