Many years ago (I'm showing my age, and my long association with Finale) there was an articulation font called Newport, which had these kinds of shapes. Somehow, after all these upgrades, I have kept this font in my files and still use it. It isn't perfect, and someone adept at using the shape designer could probably come up with better looking things, but the fall-off and upward scoop are OK. I often need them in my music, and the jazz font simply looks like bad hand copying to my eye (the quarter rest is the worst offender), so I continue to use these simple curved shapes. Is there a way to make them available to others who might find them useful?
