Greetings from Australia,

So what font is it, actually? You did not mention.
I didn't mention because it is visible in the pdf...
But of course it would have been polite to explicitely mention Adobe Minion Pro.

What I like about it is
- the 'modern' appearance (compared to e.g. LilyPond's Century Schoolbook
- its variety of font faces,
- especially the option of having a condensed version that harmonizes well with LilyPond's 'weight'.

There are hundreds of open source fonts, especially in the linux world. Since most of these are OTF, they can be used in Windows or Mac OS X.

I can make a few suggestions if you let me know the font family you are referring to.
I'd be happy to check some out!

All the best!
Andrew
