Does anyone know where I could find the sizes of various characters in
Maestro font, such as clefs? For example, how many EVPUs across is a
24-point treble clef, or a bass clef, or a sharp symbol, etc.?

Let me rephrase the question, then. If nobody knows of a *place* where
I can find this info, I would appreciate any bits of it that anyone
knows. Clefs and accidentals (including parenthesized and the smaller
parenthesized accidentals) are the main characters of which I would
like to know the dimensions. Horizontal dimensions are my primary
concern, but any and all knowledge is welcome.


If this seems too trifling or whatever to discuss on-list, I would
appreciate private emails as well.

It may help if you give us an idea of what you need this for. I am a little
confused on exactly what you mean. Eg a c-clef will always have the
dimension of a 100% staff in height. I guess that's not what you are after?

No... I was trying to figure out some things regarding system spacing, such as spacing measures so that they fill a system's width exactly (through the Measure Tool). However, the specific need for exact definitions has passed (I kludged my way through the task successfully). Now I'm just asking for curiosity's sake.


I found the Font Annotation window that Robert spoke of (I'm in FinMac2k3, by the way), but the measurements given are quite enigmatic. It seems that the measurements you find there are distances from some arbitrary "blank character" dimension. Since my inquiry has become curiosity rather than necessity, I didn't take the time to understand that dialog.
