Finale Copyist Text font

The Finale Copyist Text font is similar to the Broadway Copyist font but lighter-weight and includes lower-case characters. This font was inspired but the golden era of handwritten Broadway scores. It emulates the look and feel of natural felt-tip print handwriting. If a keystroke is separated by a plus sign (+), the keys must be pressed in succession. If a keystroke combination is separated by a comma, type the first keystroke combination, release the keys, and press the character after the comma. All of these characters can also be selected by using Text > Font to choose the desired font and Text > Inserts > Symbol to open the Symbol Selection dialog box.
