Modified Dorico Flags Comparison

[Wescott]

I don't like the flags in Bravura, Leland, or Maestro, and those are the only SMuFL fonts for flags I have, so I modified the Bravura flags for 8ths. I especially do not like Bravura's shortened flag for dotted notes, it's not even based on the un-shortened flag.

Let me know what you think. Bravura flags on top, mine are on bottom:

Dorico provides four different possibilities for dots and flagged notes:

You have chosen no. 2, which I also think is undesirable. But while yours is perhaps better, I use no. 4. No problems.

I know, but the option I prefer is just to shorten the flag. I don't want a collision, and the other two options take up more real estate, so shortening the flag works best for me.

If you have Dorico, you should also have Sebastian, which has different flags from Bravura.

TBH, I'm not wild about short flags, whatever they look like.

Coincidentally I was just about to load up Sebastian this afternoon and check it out. Is there a project file using Sebastian I can download somewhere btw?
