Part 1 - Part
2 - Part 3- The free "EZ" Byzantine Music Font Package – (Fr. Ephraim, St. Anthony's Monastery,
Arizona) This is a complete music fonts package with macros that automate
the writing process and give the final product a professional look. The
fonts used are similar to the ones available at cmkon.org (the free "ED" font package), but they have
been considerably expanded by Elie Dhoun in Beirut. We took Elie's version
and then made several other minor changes to polish note positioning and
also changed a few symbols. Furthermore, we also wrote some macros for Microsoft
Word for these fonts: one macro automatically makes all the appropriate
notes red and another macro automatically fine-tunes the relative note positions
for a cleaner look (e.g., the klasma and the gorgon in some note combinations
are automatically fixed when misaligned, the martyries are automatically
lowered, etc.) There are also four more macros included (one for each direction)
that allow you to adjust the position of a single note manually, without
affecting the position of the notes around it. All these macros may be inserted
in the toolbar of Word so that it just takes the click of a button to do
any fine-tuning. [Jan 2005]
