Not an answer to your question, but tell your friend that the lighter 
style makes it harder to read in low light condition, especially for 
older people, to the point, for vocal scores, that the text becomes
unreadable. My recommendation is to have it thicker.
 Let him, or an older friend, try to read it in low light, and then
decide which one to use.
