In the late 70s and early 80s I worked as a music engraver, actually apprenticing with an old master. We used the MusicWriter — a big Olympia typewriter that had been rebuilt with musical symbols, and that used those carbon ribbons for the old IBM Selectric typewriters. These gave nice clean, sharp impressions on the paper. And when we were doing projects for major publishers, we also drew all that paper ourselves, each page with a unique layout, and we drew the slurs, ties, hairpins, and beams, all with ink. Even later when I returned to mostly hand-copying my own work — the engraving was simply too time-consuming — my eye had become so critical that I used a calculator to figure out how many millimeters I could assign to each beat on a given line.
Music engraving used to be an art form in itself, and I spent a lot of years learning it. It used to matter that your scores looked professional, that your layout was not just correct but thoughtful, easy on the eye. I understand that many users of music notation software today are probably people working in commercial or popular music who need the output to be accurate and readable and not much more. But it saddens me that the designers of these programs have completely thrown the art, the craft of music engraving overboard. I miss those things.

Adler soon went its own way in the further development of the thrust action typewriter. Adler introduced a small portable version (the Klein Adler and the Klein Adler 2) and a full sized office machine, the Adler 8, followed by several adaptations, including the Adler 11 with two double shifts and six characters on each type bar, so that it could write two different typefaces.
The Adler 15 that is shown here was introduced in 1909 and was built until 1923. With four rows of keys and a single shift, this machine was only one huge step away from the intruduction of the regular front strike typewriters that Adler (or Triumph-Adler) would continue to produce until it went out of business in 1995. An interesting detail is that despite the many improvements that were made on the machine, Adler stuck to the clumsy line space and carriage return system on the side of the carriage that can be seen in picture 6.
On the front of this machine is a dealer stamp from an Amsterdam based company with a 6-digit telephone number that shows that this machine was still in use in the early 1970s, 50 years after it was built.
