All,

Here are some sample scans <http://fonts.openlilylib.org/henle-images/>   of
Henle scores I have. Which one should I base the new font off of? I know
that there are even more designs, but I'll start with these (unless no one
likes these ones :)

At first glance, the Beethoven-1950 one looks a lot the Notaset design,
which Maestro and Bravura are based on, and the Brahms-1976 one might be too
close to the one Henle uses now. Anyone else like to chime in?

Regards,
Abraham
