Hi Bill,
I don't think Chris meant that he wanted you to copy JazzChord
exactly -- which would might involve copyright issues (although I
don't know -- there are obviously lots of font knock-off versions out
there). I think he just meant that he would be interested in a
handwritten-looking version of ChordSuf, which would not involve any
copyright issues at all. [Nobody owns the copyright on any and all
handwritten-style chord fonts!]
Given your expertise, I'm sure you could come up with a handwritten-
looking chord font that is far superior to anything else out there --
and if you're looking for inspiration, check out Sher Music Co's "The
Standards Real Book" -- which is by far the nicest-looking
"handwritten" chord font I've seen. It is (unfortunately) not for
sale. But if you could come up with something of similar quality,
that included the ease-of-use of ChordSuf, I'm sure it would sell
like gangbusters.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Hi Christopher,
I would be happy to except that MakeMusic would have to sanction it
because
of their copyright issues. I have had problems with them in the
past, and
they have absolutely no interest (that I know of) in the work I
have done
with my chord font set. Possibly you and other interested parties
could
"petition" MM to allow me to do it, as I seem to carry little
weight with
them on my own.

Subject: [Finale] Jazz version of ChordSuf?
Bill Duncan,
Glad to see you on the list, where I can publicly buttonhole you and
ask you outright: Any chance of you coming up with a chord suffix
font
like your brilliant, ingenious ChordSuf, but that matches more
closely
with the JazzFont, to replace the inadequate JazzCord? I, for one,
would be an enthusiastic client, and I hope that some of the other
listers who (try to) use JazzFont in their work will support me on
this.
Then, in an ideal world, MakeMusic will pay you big bucks to
include it
in the next version of Finale...
Hopefully,
Christopher
