Hello everybody:
I would like to share the following font with you:
PianoStructNKYou can download it here:

Originally, I had the idea of adding piano tab images representing chords to my NWC scores.
I thought that this might help me in memorizing the keys I have to press for a given chord.
However, since there are no ways (at least I couldn't find one) to embed image files to NWC scores,
I decided to create my own TTF font that I can use for graphical chord representation in NWC.
When I find some time I will add some more instructions/documentation here.
If you want to check it out without a detailed guideline, then start with the following letter sequences that gives you (hopefully) an idea on how to use it:
.
renders the first 5 piano keys of an octave ranging from C - E
:
renders the last 7 piano keys of an octave ranging from F - B
Any key following the . or : will hit the respective key, for instance
.cCdDe:fFgGaAb
renders an entire octave with all keys hit.
.ce:gB
renders a C7.
:b.D:Fa
renders a B7.
You have to set a font size of 36 (or more) for acceptable reading.
That should be enough for a start.
Of course, PianoStructNK can be used in other applications like Word files or powerpoint presentations, as well.
Comments/critics are welcome.
Cheers, Norbert.
Sorry, seems as if I can't upload files with my account here, so I put it on one of these free file servers.
Here is the download link (valid for the next seven days):

Thanks for trying, but be warned: It's the first font I have ever made and it's unprofessional in almost all aspects.
However, I like it .-)
Regards, Norbert.
