Aruvarb Font: Bravura for Finale
The Aruvarb music font is a derivative of the Bravura SMuFl unicode font created for usage in MakeMusic's
Finale (2014, 2014.5, v25, v26, v27).
It is
100% compatible with Maestro (same symbols, same metrics) AND fully compatible with SMuFl and includes all symbols from Bravura.
Finale 27 with SMuFL support:
We don't recommend and don't give support for using Aruvarb as a SMuFL font.
If you need SMuFL functionality, please use the original Bravura font instead.
And it's not possible to use Aruvarb both as a SMuFL AND a non-SMuFL font in Finale 27:
you can either register it as a SMuFL font in Finale OR as a non-SMuFL font.
Aruvarb is meant to be a replacement for the (non-SMuFL) Maestro font only.
For SMuFL functionality please use Bravura in Finale 27.
