Bottom one: - slurs have different thickness and shape, - stems and ledgers are thinner than in LilyPond, - staccato placement on stems differ, - rest placement in polyphony differs, - "dim" font is different Nevertheless, it is very similar :) > - *Cadence* (a tweaked Emmentaler by me): > > Grieg's Piano Concerto in A-minor (Adagio) <https://db.tt/icYgT0M3> Nice! I'd say that the beams are a tad too thick, but looks good overall. > - *Gutenberg1939* (old removeable-type style): > > Canon in 3 Voices <https://db.tt/RBjSKBLK> Looks fancy! > - *Haydn* (like a classic Edition Peters style): > > Magnificat <https://db.tt/CX14jc3z> > > You can compare this with a commercial version (Kapellmeister) on the > Sibelius Blog from a few months back: > > Original Score > <http://www.sibeliusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Magnificat-in-D-BWV-243.pdf> > Kapellmeister on Sibelius > <http://www.sibeliusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/magnificat-Full-Score-dragged.pdf> "Our" version looks better :D In particular, our notehead shape is much more like the original - although the flags are significantly differrent. > - *LilyJAZZ* (a pseudo-handwritten style, originally by Torsten Hämmerle): > > Crazy Jazz Tests <https://db.tt/T1WwGLiz> > > This has been upgraded a bunch, by myself and others, including a complete > glyph set (notation and text) and updated chord font. cool! > - *Paganini* (remapping of Kristof Bastiensen's /Parnassus/, originally for > MuseScore): > > Nalada (Paganini) <https://db.tt/GdyXV0kX> > > - *Profondo* (Bravura anyone? This is a remapping of Daniel Spreadbury's > SMuFL-compliant font): > > Nalada (Profondo) <https://db.tt/1B9JoPz0> > > Compare this with Bravura in Sibelius > <http://blog.steinberg.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/fibich-bravura.pdf> . It would be great to have the engravings done in the same page layout, for better comparison. > - *Ross* (from Ted Ross's famous notation book /The Art of Music Engraving > and Processing/, and named after him): > > Nalada (Ross) <https://db.tt/5uHcypFg> Hmm. Somehow this doesn't feel like Ross (although maybe it's because i've only seen the scans, not the print). It seems to me that staves and other lines should be thicker. > I realize that this is a little like drinking from a fire hose, since this > has never been done like this before, indeed! > but if you're like me, I think you'll > like having lots of choices.

And i would also love to see a post on Lily blog, and a news item - this deserves a lot of publicity, it's a major feature IMO! > If you have any other ideas for music fonts that you'd like to use/create, > drop me a line and we'll talk :) > > More to come, so stay tuned! Let me know if any of the above links is > broken. We definitely should gather these in some visible place when all the infrastructure for using these fonts is stable. I think it actually deserves to be put on the website! thanks a ton!
