  1. ChordSymbol Fonts and Call for Symbols


ChordSymbol Fonts and Call for Symbols

Two useful music analysis fonts, ChordSymbol v. 1 and CSTimes v. 1,
are available in both TrueType and PostScript versions, for either
Macintosh or Windows. ChordSymbol is a symbol font that features a
wide variety of analytical symbols, including roman numerals and
letter names, figures and slashed figures in three tiers (the most
common combinations of which can be entered using a single keystroke),
accidentals, careted scale degrees, and much more. CSTimes is a text
font containing the most frequently used analytical symbols from
ChordSymbol while retaining all alphabetic characters and most
diacritical markings needed for foreign- language words. Both fonts
may be used in word-processing applications like Microsoft Word,
notation applications like Coda Finale, and multimedia development
applications like Claris HyperCard.

The TrueType version, which prints optimally on all printers, may be
used with Macintosh System 7 or later (or System 6.0.5 with the
Font/DA Mover 4.1 or later and the TrueType INIT) and Windows 3.1 or
later. The PostScript version may be used with Macintosh System 6 or
earlier with the Font/DA Mover 3.8 or later, and with Windows 3.0 with
the Adobe Type Manager 2.0 or later. Single copies (of both fonts
together) are priced at $24.50; site licenses (which may be mixed;
simply specify the numbers of each version or operating environment
you require) are priced as follows: 15-copy site license, $94.50;
25-copy site license, $144.50; 40-copy site license, $194.50. Please
add the appropriate processing/mailing fee--$5.00 U.S., $6.50 Canada,
$10.00 overseas--plus sales tax, if applicable.

The fonts may be ordered by sending a check, money order, or purchase
order made out to John R. Clevenger--U.S. funds only, please!--to:

CALL FOR SYMBOLS: Input on the makeup of two highly specialized music
analysis fonts now under development, SetTheory v. 1 and TheoryHistory
v.  1, is sought. SetTheory will contain set-theoretic and other
symbols useful for the analysis of atonal music. TheoryHistory will
contain symbols useful for historians of theory, such as the Riemann
function symbols. Any contributions, from general suggestions to
detailed lists or illustrations of desired characters, would be most
welcome. The two fonts are due out in the fall of 1997. Please send
such contributions to the address listed above or via email to
jclev@theory.esm.rochester.edu.
