Valerio: a 16th-century Music Font

Do you find this to be better than using playing techniques? They look too small to me by default.

Assuming you don’t have both ficta and figured bass, you can always change the size in Font Styles.

Looks excellent. Thank you. Great it has mensural time symbols etc

No new version since October, Ben?
Can I download your beautiful font with peace of mind?

I make no guarantees there! But there are no new versions planned, certainly.

Having said that, I’ve just done a quick fix to add Lute letters in place of the 0-9 numbers, so you can use the font as a Tablature Text font, to fake Lute letters.

I get a kick out of what appear to be Carolingian letter forms.

Isn’t this a style called « Onciale » in typography?

Great job! Thank you!! :waving_hand:

Hello, I use your font and it’s very good, but I have 1 suggestion concerning the Brackets, by default it’s look like this:

you can see that it’s not correctly allign with the barline, if you move to 0.05mm to the left for the 2 Brackets and for the one below, move 0.02mm to the top and it’s perfectly allign like this:

I seem to remember spending ages trying to make that work. It may depend on the width of your bracket in Engraving Options.

Of course, a slight misalignment is entire authentic… :wink:
