Final Font Solutions – Figured Bass

 

FinalFiguredBass (30 EUR)


The font FinalFiguredBass allows you to write figured bass symbols of baroque music. It can be used with nearly any kind of software. Its special power is to give you direct entry of numbers, accidentals and brackets below each other at up to four different distances from the baseline without having to go into different entry layers (verses etc.). Of course, it also contains struck-through numbers in several designs.
Moreover, the font can also be used to enter stacked fingerings - e.g. for paino chords. I can't think of any other method that is so easy, quick and precise.

Here I give a video demonstration of the font.

Special Features

1. Direct entry (e. g. as lyrics in Finale®) of numbers, special symbols and accidentals without changing font or size within the same verse (chorus)
2. Direct entry of the characters mentioned beside or below each other within only one "syllable".
3. Enter the numbers 2,4,5,6,7,9 with accidental or as struck-through characters. The numbers "5+" and "7+" are even available in two different versions.
4. Easy-to-remember keyboard layout. A similar font exists in a version for German users, called FinalGeneralBass. The only important difference is the keyboard-layout for German system.
5. Great flexibility because of many available characters and several different entry methods.

Available characters in the full version

1. All numbers (new: 1 and 0)
2. 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 as struck-through characters, 5+ and 7+ in two versions
3. Accidentals; sharp, flat and b also as superscript characters
4. Round and square brackets of different vertical extensions
5. Several fixed "empty" characters for individual control of horizontal distances
