I would like to know what font is used for chords in the NewRealBook 3. Anyone knows?
I use Finale v. 25.5 (Mac version).
Thanks in advance.

It's called Petaluma Text. If you download and install one of the Dorico software products (demos included), you'll get all of the Petaluma fonts and you'll be able to use them as you wish because they are open source.

If you are on Finale 25.5, you should better use the "Pori" font family. This is Petaluma converted for Sibelius.
These fonts are nearly compatible with Maestro, while Petaluma is SMuFl and only works in Finale 27.

AFAIK the text font is not Petaluma Text, but Petaluma Script.
But "Pori PlainChords Std" or "Pori Chords Std" is much better and already includes symbols like "ma", "mi", "omit", "add", etc.
I think the NewRealBook3 uses the Krinitsky fonts. These are slightly different and are included in the free "Online Sheet Music Viewer" which can be downloaded
here.
