Oh, it’s the creator themselves, what an honour! Your solution worked. I was only wondering how I should calculate the required #:factor depending on the staff size.
PS: I have to tell you, it’s largely thanks to your font that I get so many compliments from the jury of my conservatory on the beauty of my scores.
