Hello:
I'm developing a musical application and I need to write in a staff musical
notes.
Do you know what Truetype fonts can do this?
Many thanks

Wow. I don't know of any font that could accomplish such a task. How could
you get a 5 octave range from the keys on the qwerty keyboard? And each font
symbol would need so much detail - the stave lines and the note, perhaps an
accidental. You can use a program like Sibelius to write you music, then
export is as a jpeg and import it to your director cast. Or you can use
Sibelius' Xtra to import the score directly into your program (though their
Xtra is rather Xpensive). If anyone does know of a musical notation font,
please let me know. I'm not talking about musical symbols (notes, staves,
clefs, etc), but staves with notes where you can "type out" a melody.
