Does anybody have any PostScript fonts or routines for making music notation symbols (e.g., quarter notes, rests, bar lines, repeats, etc)? Thanks, Harold

There may be some PD ones, but by far the best I've seen is "Sonata" from Adobe. It's gorgeous, and pretty inexpensive as Adobe fonts go (since it's not an entire typeface family). -- Amanda Walker amanda@visix.com Visix Software Inc. ...!uunet!visix!amanda -- I'm not tense, just terribly alert.

(This article being posted for slhisc!jlister. Refer replies to this address) Adobe has Sonata, which has all the possible pieces of musical notation you could ever want, carefully organized so that they all work together in a reasonable manner. PC Connection, in Marlow NH (800) 243-8088 carries Adobe fonts for PCs at good discounts*. Adobe published a document on Sonata and some of its design considerations in Postscript format on Compuserve in the Adobe forum. If you can't get to that, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.

They've sent me goods many times in the past at competitive prices, on time, and I've never had a problem about sending them back. -- Ken Stamm (ken@slhisc.uucp, sun.com!gotham!slhisc!ken) (212)341-3868 Shearson Lehman Brothers, 390 Greenwich St. 4W, New York NY 10013 Views expressed here are meaningless to the above corporation.

You can also get a musical notation font for free with Andrea Steinbach's MuTeX. MuTeX is a set of TeX language macros and metafont language fonts for typesetting music. You can create bitmap postscript from these using metafont and dvips.
