Since the Engraver Time font doesn't work in Finale in macOS Sonoma, I have to look for a replacement, something close to this:

Any suggestion would be appreciated

Anyone uses a font thinner and longer than that?

There are more "Big Time" fonts:
FPBigTime (from the Finale Productivity Ppack)
Opus Big Time Std (from Sibelius)

But I don't have Sonoma, so I can't test them.

Looking good, thanks!

The google search only found it on your web site elbsound, but for some reason it doesn't let me purchase it. Can you provide a link where I can get those fonts?

Opus Big Time is included in Sibelius. Maybe installing a Sibeliues demo installs the font?

The only source that I know for the Finale Productivity package is here:

This is good. I donated a few bucks, but the free tier works fine.
