I asked Don Rice, the creator of the Golden Age handwritten music font, if I could convert it into a SMuFL-compliant version, and he agreed.

So here it is. Jazz notation isn't really my bag, so if anyone wants to give it a test drive and see if there are any problems, that would be useful.

'Original flavour' Golden Age came with a separate text font, but because SMuFL music characters don't occupy the text positions anymore, I've combined the text and music symbols into one font!

You could, of course, continue to use the original Text font, though I've tidied up some of the kerning and added more vowels with diacritics, for all your groovy Czech Jazz.

Let me know how you get on.

A quick update to say I've been testing this font with Finale 27.2, and fixed a few little problems that came up, such as note flags, parentheses of accidentals, and baseline positions.
