Hopefully I can have the new font ready by March. The JazzFont is in serious need of an overhaul, and I would gladly pay $50 for a chord font which improved the current Jazz Text font used for chords, but to my eye, Arial Narrow doesn't really fill the bill. Even something similar to Dom Casual would be an improvement. Giz Bowe Alright, thanks Giz. Since we've had several requests for a jazz symbol font based on Arial Narrow, we'll do that first. But I'll check out Dom Casual or other handwritten look options for a follow-on product for those who strongly prefer the most casual look. Basically I wish to produce the definitive chord symbol font suite, partly as a prelude to our print-digital textbooks, which will encourage student use of our fonts. So all such input is greatly appreciated. Again, for anyone who wishes to see what we have so far (albeit for now only in the stodgy-looking Times New Roman), I'll be happy to send out a PDF displaying the commercial range from ChordSymbol. Just let me know. As a sidebar, someone might fill me in on Font Annotation and any other font-handling mechanisms specific to Finale if you like. I want to make sure to get these things right. Am I missing anything? Thanks much. Cheers, jrc Dr. John R. Clevenger, Manager The Virtual Conservatory 50 S.
