Jazz font is just too thick for me, and the articulations aren't as
clear as Bill's Articulations font used with Maestro. If you compare
them side by side, the clarity and professional look of using Maestro
with Bill's Articulations font (plus all the other great fonts he has in
his package, like Rehearsal and Enclosure) will win you over (well, it
won me over).
http://finaletips.nu/ has some leads on other fonts (look under the
downloads section at the Font Annotations), such as AshMusic, Swing, and
GoldenAge. You can even, supposedly, use Sibelius's "jazz font" in
Finale, but that is a really goofy looking font in my opinion.

i'm possibly going to be involved in a project where the choice of
"jazz" fonts or not won't be up to me. i haven't used jazz fonts at
all, and the last time i compared any of them was around 5 years ago.
i remember seeing 3 or 4 designed by someone whose name i can't
remember (les somebody?) that i found quite elegant.
what don't you guys like about Jazz (comes with finale)?
is there a list of available jazz fonts somewhere?

I'd second this. Bill's articulations font (plus all his other great
fonts, like rehearsal and enclosure) and Maestro font make for clear,
professional looking charts.
