The “Evanescence” book of Maria Schneider’s music was copied using the JazzFont. Most of the defaults included with Finale were pretty close. You have this if you have a version of Finale from the last 15 years. Christopher > On Mar 10, 2017, at 7:37 PM, Martin Nickless

Just an opinion. I am not a fan of computer imitation of handwritten music. It fools no one and loses the reliable regularity and clarity of a good engraved score. Jazz font is clunky looking and I am among a group of committed jazz musicians who don't use it. Chuck Sent from my iPhone >
