Hi all!
Something strange is happening when I’m doing a 4-bar repeat in Finale Jazz font. A 2-bar repeat is displayed normally and in another font the 4-bar also is displayed normally. But when I do a 4 bar repeat there a two 4’s directly above each other. Is this a fixable thing? I really like the Finale jazz font.
Welcome to the forum!
So, this only happens with Finale Jazz font?
Can you supply a sample project file, showing the problem? What version of Dorico are you on, and is this PC, Mac, or iPad?
I can’t help you with that, I’m afraid. 
Hi!
Version: Dorico 5.0.20.2042 for Mac
Yes only Finale Jazz font. When I Change to another font it’s displaying no number at all or only 1 four.

I can see why this happens:
Compare the bar repeat characters in Bravura:
with those in Finale Jazz:
I could remove that “4” and send you an updated font via PM, maybe that solves the problem.
Here’s a fixe:

The problem is also in Finale Broadway. However, Finale Ash does not have the extra 4 about it.
I suppose another solution would be to replace all the bar repeat glyphs with those from Finale Ash (so they match), in the Music Symbol editor.
Wow this is perfect indeed.
Only thing is, how do I apply this to all my projects? How did you remove the 4 from the font?
Thanks all for the quick and helpful replies!
that would probably work indeed. The dorico file NorFonts sent was perfect.
Once the replacement font is installed, then all documents will use the revised glyph.
Never mind.
Try to export as .doricolib file from the fixed score. Engrave/Library/ Export Library… then you can import that library file and apply it to your existing scores through Engrave/Library/Library Manager…
I used FontCreator to edit the font. Nor probably changed some engraving options in order to stop Dorico from rendering the second “4” - that approach may be the preferable one since you don’t need to mess with third-party files that might get replaced in an update…
Do i have to import that library file every time I start a new project? In that case I would think it would be better to adjust the font like Pietzcker did. Then every time I use Finale Jazz it’s instantly correct.
Or am I missing something?
Thank you so much! Worked like a charm!
You can pick the GlyphMini2 app for only 49€ if you’re on macOS, You can then open the Finale Jazz font then remove (cut) the 4 above the repeat symbol and re-save the font back as .otf. If the problem will still persist you’ll need maybe to update the corresponding BB infos in the JSON file.
Hi Nordine,
I nearly made a post myself about “Finale Broadway” and “Finale Jazz” fonts having the 4-repeat-bar problem but fortunately discovered this thread.
Having just upgraded to Version 5.1.40 might you know why this still hasn’t been fixed some nine months later?
Is editing the fonts something we’re expected to do ourselves as users – as you have done using GlyphMini2?
Kind Regards.
As the name suggests, Finale Broadway and Finale Jazz are fonts created for … Finale. Updating them is the responsibility of MakeMusic Inc.
They are included with Dorico, because MakeMusic licenses them to be freely available.
Ah, good to know.
Thanks for the reply.
