Re: Noteheads slightly too large

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi All,

I have noticed this phenomenon also. Why would it be intentional I wonder? And if so, why not exceed the lower staff line also? What would be the purpose in exceeding the bounds? I don’t see it adding legibility or clarity, and indeed, small offsets like this tend to fill the perceptual system with needless detail, leading to overall loss of immediate clarity.

So, I am very curious to know if this is supposed to be an intentional engraving practice.

At least I recall speaking someone from a major publishing house about

how they created their own music font, and specifically made it do what

the OP reported.
