the finale percussion font is clearly based on -- some characters seem to be identical to -- ron caltibiano's ghent font. i have seen no mention of this having been purchased anywhere, or, if it was indeed purchased by makemusic, no credit given to the developer.
of course when a corporation buys your work you don't always get the right of recognition in return, and maybe i am just being naïve, but i would have expected at least a mention somewhere. a search for "ghent" in the user manual brings up the finale percussion page as the only hit, but only because two symbols use the word ghent in their description, in reference to the notation conference, not the developer. corporation buys individual; individual can go suck eggs. nice one, makemusic. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
