MEZZA FOR DORICO & FINALE V27 FEATURE 4 SMUFL COMPLIANT MUSIC FONTS: “MEZZA”, “MEZZA TEXT”, “MEZZA STD” & “MEZZA STD TEXT”

(Emulating Henle Style)

Mezza fonts are elegant engraver music fonts with a standard (MEZZA STD) and a lighter appearance (MEZZA), yet more robust than some other music fonts, but more accurately representing the look of smooth engraved music. Mezza & Mezza Std can be used for modern sophisticated Pop or Rock, Jazz Bands, Piano and Vocals, Choirs, Marching Bands, and all types of musical ensembles even Symphonies! Mezzo comes with a unique subtle individuality, but with a softer and fatter look which makes it a great use for school manuals and education materials. Both fonts look fun and easy, and will not scare your students! Mezza & Mezza Std work with Finale v27 and Dorico™ Pro version as an alternative to Finale Maestro and  Bravura font or any other SMuFL font.

APPLYING MEZZA FONTS IN DORICO™ PRO

When running Dorico, it will find the new metadata files and will make an entry for the fonts in its list of available SMuFL fonts. However, to use the MEZZA font:

• Open a Dorico score,
• Go to Engrave mode (Ctrl+3 or Cmd+3), click on the Engrave > Music Fonts menu option,
• In the dialog window that appears, click on the name of the font in the list, then click the button “Change Music Font” and select Mezza or Mezza Std to apply the font to your open score project
• Again, Engrave > Font Styles… > Font Style to “Default Music Text Font” choose: Mezza Text or Mezza Std Text
• You’d need also to change the character style: Engrave > Character Styles… > set Font to Mezza Text or Mezza Std Text
• You can optionally check or uncheck the box to use the recommended engraving options; click “OK”, and you’ll notice that your score project is taking effect of the changes with the newly selected Mezza/Mezza Std font.
