I thought it might be interesting to copy and paste a posting from
Andrew at MM that was on the Finale Forums.
Broadway Copyist Handwritten Music Notation Font. Finale 2010
includes the new Broadway Copyist music notation font, created by
Robert Piechaud, designer of the esteemed November and Medieval
music fonts. Inspired by the golden era of handwritten Broadway
scores, the Broadway Copyist font offers a lighter appearance.
Having played quite a few of those "golden age" Broadway books, all I
can say is that this is not necessarily the recommendation that MM
marketing seems to think it is!
I do find it fascinating that with the almost simultaneous release of
Sibelius 6 and Finale 2010, it seems like the discussions on this
list lean 90% to asking "what's wrong with it," while the discussions
on the Sibelius list lean 90% to "how soon are they shipping?"!!!!!
Or at most, to whether it's compatible with such-and-such a hardware
setup. 'Nuff said.
