  New music fonts...

 

In our work over the past years, we have designed several fonts for music publishing, some with standard symbols, others more specialized. Having fully tested them in our own engraving studios, we have decided to make them available to others who work with Finale®. They have been designed as a family, so that while each font has a specific purpose, they can be used together. However, there is no need to install all of them. All of these fonts are available in Trutype and Postscript Type 1 for Macintosh and for PC. Each comes with a bitmap version in 24 pt or 36 pt (as appropriate): if installed, this font improves the quality of the on-screen actual size presentation of the characters. There is a table of all the keyboard equivalents and short explanatory notes.

Virtuoso

 4O EUR

A generic character font, designed to replace Maestro and Petrucci (the standard Finale® fonts). The characters have been designed with slightly more generous hairlines to give the best possible results on laser printers. Here are some of the additional characters it offers (not available in Maestro):

VIRTUOSO MUSIC FONT

 Charleston

 40 EUR

A font offering an improved range of noteheads for percussion scoring, or other uses; it also offers symbols for indicating micro-intervals (quarter- and even eighth-tones). This means it can replace Tamburo (which comes as part of the Finale® package).

CHARLESTON MUSIC FONT

 Grupetto

 30 EUR

A font offering all the baroque ornaments (trills, mordents, gruppettos), as well as italic numbering for triplets, and fingering numbers.

GRUPETTO MUSIC FONT

 Staccato

 30 EUR

A font offering a greater range of articulations than the standard Finale® fonts (Petrucci or Maestro), tremolos and inverse tremolos (from simple through quadruple), glissandos, pedal indications for organ, as well as a wider range of pause symbols.

STACCATO MUSIC FONT

 Vivace

 25 EUR

A font for presenting all tempo markings and rhythmic changes. It also offers a range of symbols for the harp (chords and pedals).

VIVACE MUSIC FONT

 Espressivo

 40 EUR

A genuinely musical italic font, covering all the possible nuances and other useful markings, as well as a complete italic alphabet.

ESPRESSIVO MUSIC FONT

 Harmony

 30 EUR

A three-level font for numbering harmony texts. This font offers all the usual numbers (with and without bars), brackets, parentheses and Roman numerals for chords.

HARMONY MUSIC FONT

 Fingering

 25 EUR

A font for presenting all the numberings and finger-positions for guitar, violin or piano scores.

FINGERING MUSIC FONT

 Ars Nova

 30 EUR

A font (whose title is to be taken in the literal sense and not as a reference to the early days of polyphony) with a wide range of symbols for presenting contemporary music (arrows of all sorts, ondulating lines, etc.).

ARS NOVA MUSIC FONT

 Flamenco

25 EUR

A font for constructing four or five square diagrams (tablatures) for guitar. This can replace the standard Seville font which comes with Finale®, and offers greater user-choice and flexibility in constructing tablature.

FLAMENCO MUSIC FONT

 Oratorio

25 EUR

A font with capital letters within rectangular, hexagonal, round or oval borders. Useful for highlighting divisions and subdivisions within scores.

ORATORIO MUSIC FONT

 Timpani

 30 EUR

A font offering the main pictograms for percussion instruments, as agreed at the international conference on musical notation at Gand (Belgium) in October 1974; includes various other symbols useful for concrete music.

TIMPANI MUSIC FONT
