NOTATIO

Hi all So after trying lots of lighting and distance tests (none of which I could accurately recreate on my camera - apologies!), it does seem that the nude paper is slightly duller than my other test papers, but not by a lot. It's noticeable when directly compared with pure white paper, but not as ...

True, but surely this is true for all paper and inks? And even in the low light, I don't see a noticeable difference in contrast when compared to ivory paper. Tomorrow I will print two identical parts using this coloured paper and some stock ivory paper I have on hand and will post them for comparis...

Hi all Recently, I received a sample of some new paper my regular paper provider has started making, which has an off-white, blush/nude colour with "high opacity, yet low lightfastness". After doing some research on what this means, the paper has the fascinating ability to purposely lose i...

The November 2 font by Robert Piechaud has this, and a tonne of other new music symbols.

Hi OCTO Thanks always for your swift responses. I agree with all your points.

I asked why he uses both systems and he said that they represent different approximations as to how big/small the alt...

It's a combination of the Chiswick Superfont series and an italic font called Nantes Light.

Also, many thanks for the tautological comments! Will clean up.

Dear all

Thank you massively for all your helpful advice! After spending many more months on not only font finding but also actual composing, I am now using a combination of different fonts that I am now happy with:

I checked with a Clarinettist who said it was fine? I guess we'll find out during the performance haha!

Dorico? Wow. I have just noticed that it was not Sibelius, and I believed it was Finale. I will skip than xml for testing. I enjoyed it very much. I would like to see more Dorico (complex) examples in the future. Thank you so much OCTO! I equally admire your engraving (especially the one of the Bee...
