Dear Doc and all: > From: Doc Rossi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Any suggestions for a tablature font to use in Finale? (letters)
The best I've found is the font "ancient bastard hand" from Crazy Diamond Design's "A New Newe Booke of Copies"; here's the URL: <http://www.crazydiamond.co.uk/products/annboc.html> This is expensive--no doubt!--at £75 / $144.75 / â¬110.25, but for those with a serious need or interest in dealing with 17th century MS and print materials digitally, a very good value. While not directly useful, it should be noted that the production values are high: traditional slipcase containing a hard-bound history of the fonts and the proper use of ligatures, etc., as well as full keyboard layouts for all six fonts, which are offered in "ancient" (i.e., with all the ligatures and good stuff that those trying to reproduce original materials would need) and "modern" (i.e., just the standard character set) versions. Hope this helps. If you need it: gulp, pay the price, and enjoy it for ever more.
