Apologies to touch on something that's a couple of weeks old - I just got back from some
time in Chicago without e-mail.
Some had been talking about some of the "jazz" fonts such as Jazz and Swing...I wanted to
let you know about three others which I feel are much better. At the Express Music
Website (http://shop.store.yahoo.com/expressmusic/index.html) you can check out three
different fonts - LeeMusic, AshMusic and RussMusic. All three are hand-drawn fonts
created by professional copyists and turned into fonts (which luckily work nicely with
2004 and OSX). I use AshMusic myself, but any of them beat the pants off of JazzFont.
Thanks for the tip. I had seen these fonts before, and didn't like them, as they are not as bold as the JazzFont, and some of the glyphs (flats, naturals, clefs, segno, gliss lines, to name a few) are way too stylised for my taste. Some of the text looks nice, though some letters again are too stylised, which what I don't like about the JazzText font.
They are certainly alternatives, though!
I'd really like a nice compact Speedball type font, like I see in the Clinton Roemer book, for text and chord symbols. I've settled on Dom Regular, but even that tends to be a little too spread, and I don't get those great enclosures that the JazzText font has for expressions.
