This is a font of music symbols. All MF sources are original. The symbols are modelled after various editions of music, notably - Baerenreiter - Hofmeister - Breitkopf - Durand & C'ie The best references on Music engraving are [Wanske] and [Ross], some of their insights have also been used. Although a matter of taste, I'd say that Baerenreiter has the finest typography of all. Traditional engraving uses a set of 9 standardised sizes for Staffs (running from 0 to 8). I tried measuring those (helped by a magnifying glass), and I get the staffsizes in the following table. One should note that these are estimates, so I think there could be a measuring error of ~ .5 pt. Moreover [Ross] states that not all engravers use exactly those sizes. Staffsize Numbers Name 26.2pt No. 0 22.6pt No. 1 Giant/English 21.3pt No. 2 Giant/English 19.9pt No. 3 Regular, Ordinary, Common 19.1pt No. 4 Peter 17.1pt No. 5 Large middle 15.9pt No. 6 Small middle 13.7pt No. 7 Cadenza 11.1pt No. 8 Pearl This table is partially taken from [Ross]. Most music is set in No.3, but the papersizes usually are bigger than standard printer paper (such as A4). [Ross] states that the dies (the stamps to make the symbols) come in 12 different sizes.
