This document are some design notes of the Feta font. Feta (not an
abbreviation of Font-En-Tja) is a font of music symbols. All MetaFont

\item B\"arenreiter
\item Hofmeister
(running from 0 to 8).
We have tried to measure these (helped by a magnifying glass), and
-found 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.

-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). If you plot these, you'll notice that the sizes (With
-exception of 26) almost (but not quite) form a arithmetic progression.

Ross states that the dies (the stamps to make the symbols) come in
12 different sizes.
