I'd like to know more about them honestly. I'm not sure music typewriters would be as practical as transfers (buy a sheet of symbols and rub them onto the page) or stencils. From what I understand the highest quality music typesettings engraved the music in plates. (More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_engraving https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_engraving)
- maxerickson 10y agoI bet it has push buttons for advancing the paper up and down the staff, greatly simplifying keeping notes aligned compared to a stencil. It also looks like overstriking the lines on notes above and below the staff would be easier than adding them over a stencil. I guess it would serve different purposes than engraved music.
