It was Finale for all the Real Books after Vol 1. The font was a custom
font by the copyist, and they are guarding it jealously (I asked!)
If you compare the Vol 1 to say Vol 2, the quality of the hand copying
in Vol 1 is quite astonishing, IMHO. I don't think I have ever seen
anything quite like it in a jazz idiom. Compact, well-spaced, an
excellent eye for compromises in a very dense page that is nevertheless
clearly laid out - it set a new standard, just in time to be supplanted
by computer copying. 8-(

Hi Roger,
The first New Real Book was hand-copied. Subsequent editions (Vol.
2, Vol. 3, the Standards Real Book, etc.) were done with some kind of
music notation software, possibly Finale.
However, their fonts were developed in-house, and they are proprietary
to Sher Music Co. They are not available to the general public.
