Hraban,
Thank you for this information. It's very helpful!
I'd just like to mention that the purpose of this work is NOT to make a
clone of the CURRENT, or recent, Henle font. I don't even want to go
there. It's just not what I do. I have a great respect all the hard work
that goes into designing a font and I don't want to be a black-market
copycat even though it may be "legal" to do so in the US. I can't control
what others do with Henle's designs, but that's where I stand on the
matter.
Thus, the current plan for the Henle look-a-like font would be to digitize
a nice design from the mid-1900s. I'm still deciding which one (for there
are many), but I should have that decided soon. I'll post some actual
Henle score images to get everyone's thoughts and recommendations on the
matter before I begin creating the font.
Regards,
Abraham
All,
Here are some sample scans <http://fonts.openlilylib.org/henle-images/> of
Henle scores I have. Which one should I base the new font off of? I know
that there are even more designs, but I'll start with these (unless no one
likes these ones :)
At first glance, the Beethoven-1950 one looks a lot the Notaset design,
which Maestro and Bravura are based on, and the Brahms-1976 one might be too
close to the one Henle uses now. Anyone else like to chime in?
