Spacing of Multiple Flats not correct when using Finale Maestro Font

• May 16, 2025 - 23:49

As shown in the attached images, using the Finale Maestro font, the flats are differntly spaced on a 4th and 5th. What happens on the 5th happens on all intervals (until wide enough to stack of course).

At first I thought the 4th was too close but I realized in the default font they are "overlapped".

So that makes it seem that ALL of the flats are too far apart on all of the intervals EXCEPT the 4th - which aligns both with the other font and with how sharps are handled.

Seems MuseJazz has the same issue (additionally it even collides in the 4th case)

Finale Broadway too

Probably should get reported on GitHub, https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/new/choose
If it is an issue with the fonts, at least fixing MuseJazz would be possible for the MuseScore developers

For the Finale fonts it might need to get reported to the owner of Finale, MakeMusic, though.
Unless it is a MuseScore rendering issue, of course. But only a report on GitHub might show.
