Greetings, Ponders!
Recently, I began collaborating with the designer of the Susato music
font. Before I get too deep in it, though, I was wondering if you
could humor me a little and let me know if you have any interest in
*purchasing* the font if it were made LilyPond-compatible. The current
asking price is $149, and is only available to Finale users. I suspect
that the cost will be no different for LilyPond users, but this hasn't
been decided yet.
Anyone interested? I will withdraw my efforts if there isn't. I hope
to hear from everyone either way!
I think purchasing a notation font for that price or anything similar
would require a significant surplus over the variety of fonts that is
now available to us.
From my POV such a surplus could be:
- to know the font has a significantly higher quality in detail than the
other replacement fonts
(not necessarily than Emmentaler) - whatever this should be
- a significant number of additional glyphs, made available through
reasonably simple means
- real optical sizes
I don't have any idea if providing a commercial notation font for
LilyPond makes sense economically. My gut feeling says that for 150
Dollars a font should provide really much ...
The best perspective *I* would see is for highly specialized fonts for
specific engraving purposes.

Better yet, here's a very quick, no-obligation, anonymous survey that
you can use to voice your opinion:

can close the browser window.

P.S. If I have neglected a request from any of you for another music
font, please forgive and remind me :-) I have tried to keep track of
them all, but haven't been able to fulfill them in as timely a manner
as I'd like to.
