While we're on the topic of the Rbar, has anyone noticed that it does not seem to change in size when the general font size is decreased? On the score Michael Martin has linked to, for instance, which seems to use a smaller font size than normal, the Rbar and Vbar are both taller than the capital letters in the line of text (e.g. V. Ite missa est [on p. 3 of the pdf]). Would it be difficult to allow the Rbar to change in height?
Also, it seems from the scores I've looked at that most often the Rbar and Vbar are followed be a period. Would it perhaps be better to create a glyph that has the period included for the purposes of kerning (perhaps Rbar-p)? Often it seems like the period is further from the base of the glyph Rbar than is most attractive. 2011/1/4 Pierre François <[email protected]> > Hi > > On Tue, 2011-01-04 at 13:49 +1100, Veronica Brandt wrote: > > Is there any book about these sort of church typography ideas?
