I know that many of you are very particular about the fonts you use
for for tempos and tempo modifications, instrument names, technical
instructions (arco, pizz., a2, con sord., div., G.P., etc.), titles
and subtitles, composer's name, copyright info, etc. I've worked out
(not very methodically, I'll admit) a set of fonts, styles and sizes
that seem to work okay. But I have two questions:
1. For technical instructions (see above), do you use italic? Bold?
Roman? Some of both?
2. Is there a webpage somewhere that details a set of fonts (including
sizes and styles) that work well for text-related items in a score?
I refer to a lot of scores, of course, but I've seen many variations
-- sometimes within a single score. Right now I'm looking at page 10
of Thomas Ades's "Asyla" and I see "pizz." and "sul tasto" in roman,
while "legato" and "sim. sempre" are in italic.
Thanks.
