OT: Can Anyone Identify/Approximate This Music Font?

I’m in the throes of preparing musical examples for an analysis video, and after scanning in and doing a fair amount of work slicing, fixing blemishes, etc., realized that the edition (Theodore Presser) I have is missing a sixteenth rest at the end of the measure (blue circle):

Since we have so many “font gurus” here in the forum, I thought I’d ask if anyone can guide me towards the best match that I can drop on top of the PNG as a text box.

Why not just use an app like Photoshop to copy the existing sixteenth rest and move it where you want it?

Looks great, @dan_kreider, thanks! I actually only included a small screen-grab. What font did you use?

Because I don’t have PS. If I can do it in Mac Preview, then your suggestion is a great one.

You could leave that “as is”. There are many errors in published works and this would be a learning opportunity.

There are plenty of free apps that you could use for this, such as Inkscape.

I used photoshop.

Understood, though in this case it’s part of a rather complex musical analysis, so I want to fix their error so as to avoid distraction.

Understood.

Thanks for pitching in, all. I appreciate your time, as ever. I’m able to do quite a passable job of it right in Preview, perfectly good enough for my on-screen purposes.
