Michael, List protocol forbids attachements to emails, so there needs to be another way to do this. I'd think that Nick Carter would have something available on his NPC Imaging site, since he is selling the fonts. Meanwhile, I will send a pdf to your email, and you are welcome to visit here

Yes, it is designed to look good with Maestro (though I imagine it would work well with other roughly similar fonts). Bill created the articulation font symbols to include things like jazz falloffs that would look appropriate with Maestro. He spent the better part of a day in our home (when

Indeed, this has been a bugaboo for years, and only constant carping and complaining will get MM's attention. The available defense for advanced jazz chord symbol users is to spend time (a lot of time, unfortunately) creating the chord suffixes you like, saving them as a library and then
