Hello there,

although I'm a long time Finale user I'm new to this forum… so, "Hello", first of all!

I've spotted a neat Chord Symbols font but I can't find out, where to buy that font… It is obviously called "SwissChords" – well, that is at least what the PDF file tells me.

So, if you know anything about it, I'd love to hear from you! Thanks in advance!

Best,
John

Thanks, Peter!

Yes, I have also tried identifont.com – no results, unfortunately…

Does "Swiss" mean it's a Helvetica knock-off?

at8ax, it probably is – at least it bears a striking resemblance to the Helvetica/Zurich fonts.

I also found it in a score prepared by Dakota Music Services… but unfortunately, they don't have an email address on their website.
