[Finale] Notation readability research?

[Daniel Wolf]

There is quite a bit of formal research into the readability of text  
fonts.  For music copying and engraving, it appears that there is quite of  
bit of hearsay and very little research about readability, much of it  
fairly hardened into rules about notation style, particularly in  
commercial music, for example the inkpen-styled fonts preferred in much  
jazz or show charts.  Is anyone aware of any actual research along these  
lines that might be useful in improving score design, typography and  
layout?
