As I try to polish up and harmonize a design, I often find myself wondering if I am going around in circles - I'm making a curve looser now but didn't I just make this same curve tighter last week? And that makes me worry about whether or not I'm actually improving things or just creating new problems for myself.
I don't know if this is just caused by my inexperience at knowing how to harmonize, or whether this is a more general problem that others can relate to as well. Anyway, if anyone has a system they use when harmonizing a font, or ways they keep track of what they have tried and how it worked out, I would love to hear about it.

Same with the angle of the crossbars here. Except I set up an angled guideline and moved it into position and sliced off the extra. Same with stem widths—and if I choose to vary even vertical stem widths, I make measurements and record them in my notebook or again, slice a stem and move it from glyph to glyph as appropriate to make them the same as desired.
But I would say my notebook gets more use for actually recording and using these values.
