Is it time to update the Finale 2008 sample in Essay?

At the time I started with LP, the Finale 2008 example wasn't that old in the Essay section. Is it really fair for us to continue showing this since quite a few versions have been released since then? I mean, Finale 27 has been out since June 2021 and is now at 27.3. I'm not saying the example is

Hi, Jean! I am aware of individuals that appreciate the ability to mix and match fonts, including the brace font. In fact, I would guess that the more common combo is to use another music font with Emmentaler braces. I do believe this is a corner case and maybe it should be changed with some

Re: Prioriziting a directory

Great questions, Jean. As a font creator (both text and music) and semi-power user, I've always hated that LilyPond only looks within its own data folder for music fonts. This has required me to duplicate all my fonts to the data directory of every new version of LilyPond I install to make them

Re: SMuFL support: matching glyph names 1

This is great, Owen! One thing to keep in mind is that most applications don’t access glyphs by name like LilyPond does. They access by codepoint. So, in the vein of making Emmentaler SMuFL compliant, codepoint will be more import than name. You may already be taking this into account, but if not,
