As a result of an article I wrote on "Automatic Font Conversion" I have uploaded a font package of 21 music fonts made 100%-compatible with Maestro. It can be found in the download section at
elbsound.studio/experiments_in_automatic_font_conversion.php

There are also some samples:
elbsound.studio/download.php?f=FontSamplesAllSymbols.pdf
elbsound.studio/download.php?f=FontSamplesBerg.pdf

The music fonts include new versions of Bravura, Emmentaler, Euterpe, JazzyBasic, Haydn, Sebastiano, Improviso, Gootville, Haydn, Leipzig and many others - all fonts are ready to go into your Finale document through Document->Set Default Music Font.
AFAIK some of them (Unifont Upper, Euterpe and FreeSerif) have never been made accessible for any notation program yet, so it's even a premiere for those.
The fonts are licensed under SIL OFL or GNU GPL and are available for MacOS (ttf) and Windows (otf/ttf).
Font annotation files are also included.

Today I updated the Elbsound Music Font Package to v1.1.
Apart from a few minor fixes, it now includes 25 fonts (new: Musica, Symbola, Gonville and Noto Sans Symbols) and 16 new composite symbols which make the fonts look even more consistent.
The font package is available here: elbsound.studio/elbsound-music-font-package-for-finale.php
