Tim,

Would you mind expounding a little further on what you feel has degraded since the original was published? I will tell you what I've done, but I would appreciate hearing your thoughts, especially if many others feel similarly.

In bringing the original LilyJAZZ font up to speed, I don't recall editing ANY of the original glyphs in the font. I did _add_ some to make it more complete, but that's it. 

The other thing that might be causing visual is the stylesheet I've created to go along with the font family. If that's the problem, please help me out by offering some suggestions. I've created settings that I thought were reasonable and compliment the font, but that doesn't mean they have to stay that way. I guess the nice thing is that you can adapt it to whatever styles _you_ like.

Please help me know, if you would. Thanks!!

- Abraham

Also, looking at the web page that was referenced in other threads, it appears that the old LilyJAZZ font has been completely replaced (looking at the example lead sheet).  To my eyes the old font was much better and I won’t be updating to the new version.  The new version looks awkward and doesn’t visually flow very well.  YMMV.
