Font pairings suggestion?

Is it my impression or is Minion Pro being used basically everywhere?

It's a very good typeface. A direct descendant of 16th-century Humanist type, but redesigned for modern use on screen and laser printer.

We are very fortunate in these digital days to have access to such a variety of typefaces, in an abundance of styles and weights, in any size we choose.

Time was, when a printer would say: "you can choose from these 4 typefaces, in these 4 sizes."

The fonts are sorted by similarity.
The page also contains lists of special fonts for song lyrics and handwritten fonts for jazz scores.

@jan do you have Leland up at Elbsound yet? I can't find it except with a name that seems like a derivative.

It would be nice to be able to compare it to others since MuseScore has gotten so widespread.

Leland is not included in the Music Font Comparison, because the comparison was built in 2016 and only includes fonts which were available at that time.
