I quite strongly dislike Baroquefort because baroque art and music are full of ornate twiddly bits, and your font is pleasingly free of them. Plus it feels too specific to a particular type of music.

Conversely I like Score-gonzola because [I think] the term 'score' applies to all written music, and therefore everything your font will be used for, whereas some of the things your font will be used for have nothing to do with trebles, mezzos, or forte-ness.

I like Yarg second best.

Interesting reasoning! Hadn't occurred to me at all, but yes, I think I agree that Baroquefort is (though a neat pun in itself) precisely wrong for the font's style.

(The person who thought up Score-gonzola will probably be surprised to find that it was anyone's first choice, given that his comment immediately after thinking of it was "Um. Perhaps I shouldn't try this when sleepy" :-)
