SMuFL Engraving Defaults

The engraving defaults are a set of key/value pairs that define recommended defaults for line widths, etc. that can be imported into Finale with the SMuFL-compliant music fonts they are associated with. The chart below shows the SMuFL engraving default key name and the location in Finale where this is information is applied. For more details and a description of the engraving defaults, see the w3c's specification here. Items listed as "Unsupported" are not used in Finale as there is no applicable setting for that particular engraving default.
