Fat noteheads!

[magnefl]

I have an engraving request for some piano pieces. I sent two examples to the composer, however he wanted more fat note heads. I knew already that he wanted this so I used engraver font set. But the note heads were not fat enough for the composer. Does anybody know of a font that uses even more fat note heads than Engraver

Two ideas:

1) - try the font Maestro Wide (which is designed for “fatter” noteheads).

2) - try increasing the Notehead Font Size (it does not have to be 24 Points). Try e. g. 25 Points, or 26 Points.

Thanks for input! I have tried both, and Maestro wide is not as fat as Engraver, and if I enlarge the font size to 25, the note heads exceeds one space.

If you look at traditional engraving, the noteheads do sometimes extend slightly over the line.

Engraver is probably the fattest.

Indeed.
And you can see the same in manuscripts with very beautiful, readable handwriting.

I would not worry about noteheads extending slightly over the line.

Have a look at my Music Font Comparison created with Finale.
Maybe you find will a better notehead there?
