Picking up this thread and relating to chord, is there anyone in this
list that built a beautiful, well readable jazz chord library and would
be kind to share it (after payment of a fee, too)?
I know about that beautiful font pack that one of the late contributors
(sorry I cannot remember his
I made one using Dom Casual (or Dom Regular) but it can never be what
you would call beautiful because of inherent problems with character
thickness and spacing when the root has a sharp or flat (G#m7 doesn't
space the same way as Gm7 or Gbm7.) I'll share it for free, but I'll
have to send

I know Christopher disagrees, but I prefer either the geometric symbols

I believe Christopher uses Cmaj7 (which is okay, though I *greatly*
prefer CMA7) and Cm7
Oh don't get me started on the JazzText font! The Z and the 2, the H
and the M, the stupid 5...
Before long I am going to have convinced myself to make my own inkpen
font...

Unfortunately Mr. Sigler got his Jazz font bundled with Finale then
completely dismissed the updates (and did not reply to
emails about problems with his other Swingfont I bought many years ago).
And think how beatiful are the fonts used in latest Sher Real Books
Anyone has tried to use
If you find the JazzFont too thick, then the Inkpen font from
Sibelius is positively stubby. I find it next to unusable (though I
haven't tried it in Finale, only in Sibelius).

Heh, heh! All three, but I was really referring to Montreal. I find
some aspects of notation, especially in jazz, tend to be regional.
Nice
I laughed the first time I heard of the jazz font, myself, but I do
understand the purpose of it working to overcome some of the prejudice
against computer-printed charts in the commercial industry. I've even
used it, on occasion, when I've retyped a missing page of a handwritten
part, etc.
