Re: Availability of music notation font in LibreOffice (Malte Meyn)
Also available in the Arch Linux User Repository (AUR), currently at otf-bravura version 1.271-1 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/otf-bravura But, if you're an Arch user, you probably figured all that out for yourself, making this message a bit redundant. ;-)

Inspired by this thread I found out that on my Linux Fedora system I can simply install the Steinberg Bravura fonts from the Fedora repository: sudo dnf install steinberg-bravura-fonts sudo dnf install steinberg-bravura-text-fonts I did some searching in the Fedora repo, and also found some other options for musical symbols: dnf search music font google-noto-music-fonts.noarch : Music font gdouros-musica-fonts.noarch : A font for musical symbols denemo-music-fonts.noarch : Denemo Denemo fonts === Samenvatting & Naam Komt overeen met: music, font === steinberg-bravura-fonts.noarch : Bravura music font steinberg-bravura-text-fonts.noarch : Bravura music text font allgeyer-musisync-fonts.noarch : A musical notation font family that provides general musical decorations allgeyer-musiqwik-fonts.noarch : A musical notation font family intended for writing lines of actual music == Samenvatting Komt overeen met: music, font === texlive-figbas.noarch : Mini-fonts for figured-bass notation in music So you could also search for and try those google, gdouros, and allgeyer fonts. They also should be downloadable for free for everyone somewhere. (They can't be included in the Fedora repos if they aren't.) -- MT

Shortly after writing this I realised that the font files can be found in the github repository, but in the subdirectory redist.

Bravura sounds like a good idea, except that I'm trying to work out how to get it. It seems that I have to download something (but the readme file doesn't exactly say what) from github and then install it using a proprietary installer which I've had to search for. Not very good marketing here! I may try to use \markuplist instead, but that raises further issues - for another mailing list request for help. Thanks for the help. Peter
