Having written a fair amount of music by hand in my earlier years and
performed more, I fail to understand why folks want a handwritten font. I
understand that some think that it contributes to a more stylistic reading
of some music, but that just doesn't make sense to me.
To me, it seems like photographers trying to digitally insert the
appearance of grain in grainless digital files so it will look like film.
We spent years trying to minimize grain from film and now that that's no
longer necessary, some folks want it back. I don't get it.
Not trying to start a fight, just making an observation.
Richard Smith
For me, at least (and for many of my clients), being able to look at a
piece and immediately know it's a jazz piece is a good thing. I could
do all of my pieces in maestro, but the Jazz FOnt is generally preferred.
It's also a little bit easier to read in bad light. Well, most parts are.
