Matthew Maslanka of Maslanka Music Prep did all the heavy lifting porting Bravura to Norfolk, and creating the Norfolk house style. Norfolk derives its name from Norfolk, Connecticut, home of the Norfolk Music Festival, where Jean Sibelius conducted the premiere of his work The Oceanides during his only visit to the United States in 1914. If you have suggestions on how Norfolk can be improved, please contact us. Norfolk is, after all, a third-party font, and while we have tried our best to make it work as completely as possible, it is not as fully supported as the fonts that ship with Sibelius.

Many of Sibelius’s symbols are actually composite symbols with intricate and tightly integrated positioning. The Norfolk Chords and Chords Sans ASC/ASL Std fonts will only work in Sibelius 2018.11 and higher.įor practical reasons, it was not possible to faithfully reproduce every symbol in Norfolk. Norfolk Chords and Chords Sans ASC/ASL Std make use of some experimental features that are not yet fully supported in Sibelius.

Because Sibelius does not support SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout), a series of derivative fonts needed to be created in order for Bravura to be compatible with Sibelius.
