I was wondering if anyone had a font that could be used for composing music, for a project I'm working on.

(So, if you were to launch a text editor, you could type out a simple song in it)

I need:
-Clefs
-Key Signatures
-Notes (1/16 1/8 1/4 1/2 1) in all the different positions on the staffs
-Sharps and flats in all those positions as well

Basically something like this (this is MusiQwik font), but the upper range of the notes is too small:


Any ideas? I've been searching all over the place, but haven't found anything that works.

Thanks.

As a clarification, I need this range of notes for sixteenth, eighth, quarter, half, and whole notes:



Thanks

You could try that and take some letters from the 'font' you have above and it might find the name of a few

Unfortunately, putting some letters through that didn't turn up anything.

Alternatively, if anyone knows where I can get a free font creator tool that can import EPS files, that would work as well.

This is a font creator, but unfortunately it's not free. There is, however, a trial version (I think it lasts 10 days but I'm not sure about that) and in that time you might be able to make your font. But you wouldn't be able to make any changes once the trial expired.

This is just an idea, though not at all what you asked for, but why don't you do something similar to the composer on the cellphone where you write musical "codes" like 'c' for c, 'cc' for high c, c# for c sharp, c2 for c one octave up, c3 for c 2 octaves up, and have 1c, 2c, 4c, 8c, 16c, 32c for note lengths and have _ or something for a rest. Then they write it in notepad or whatever and you read it with your program and convert it to music. So they would have something like:

and that's mary had a little lamb. I think. Anyway, it's just an idea, not what you asked for but hope you find it useful...
