Treble and bass are the same width in both fonts, and vertically aligned. Probably an optical illusion. >2.

When the page is printed, side-by-side, the notehead thickness seems to make the whole page more legible. A page thick with notes seems easier to read with less 'shimmering' of black against white. Maybe it's just my vision, but I've always liked the Revere notehead size. It's closer to Engraver -- but I hated that font for other reasons. >3. looking through the score, I wonder if that is a finished layout >(cf. m. 51ff), since there are a lot of collisions of things that I >would want to correct (though I'm not sure how to resolve the >collisions in the case of this particular music!). Yes, I didn't hand-respace these (as in the Maestro version just posted). I'm a little careless in my own music sometimes, and reserve my attention for the music I do for other folks. Nobody pays me to do my stuff. :( Dennis -- Please participate in my latest project: http://maltedmedia.com/waam/ _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
