Feedback on new chant font

Hi friends, I'm getting close to releasing MusChant, a font that allows the user to input plainchant notation directly into Dorico. I would appreciate feedback from a typographic perspective: stroke weight, proportion, etc. I do know some of the articulations are colliding with the staff lines; I'm ...

Questions about chant

Folks, I'm working on a font for inputting chant in Dorico (I'm sure it would work in Sibelius as well). Here's a sample: pic1.png My question: are all the neumes basically the same size?

Italic/oblique flat and sharp glyphs?

Handing off Scorico.net

Hi folks, Long story short: I’m looking to pass Scorico.net to someone who will keep it going. It’s a good thing, and I think it has the potential to grow quite large, but I need to devote my time to other pursuits. I can no longer give it the attention it needs. If you’re interested, please contact...

We (the site admins) intend to vet the submissions for quality, although we aren't going to be fanatical about it. The hope is that every score on the site ...
