Hi everyone,
I'm doing an editorial design for a Pianist, and it will have all his sheet music on this book.
Anyone knows any good typeface for this matter?
Thanks in advanced!

Wow, this brings me back... I got my start millions of years ago with Softy, a shareware TTF font editor created to design music fonts. Took a long time before I decided to try designing fonts myself.
OK, enough archeology. Musescore is a free scoring program that comes with a variety of excellent fonts designed specifically for sheet music. It's a rather comprehensive solution.

In terms of typesetting for classical music, lilypond is quite good. I think the font they created for it is called feta. Rosegarden and denemo also use the feta font.0

Lilypond is GPL, by the way. Can't beat that on price tag0
