I had also tried it out. Gentium has a quite strong individual style, 
and it is a style that I just didn't like for my scores. Don't know if 
that's just a matter of personal taste or if text fonts in scores should 
generally be somewhat less obtrusive.

Ah, yes. I use it quite often for text, I definitely should check back 
with scores on that one.
