Yes, both Math and Music cost extra for manual typesetting, "penalty copy" was the 'term of art' IIRC in old letterpress manuals. I wouldn't be surprised if a few specialty houses had custom Monotype or Linotype fonts and keyboard overlays, but I can't quickly lay hands on proof.
Show PostSome examples of letterpress music notation types: musicprintinghistory.org/about-music-... www.briarpress.org/14889 @museumofprinting.bsky.social may have something. @glennf.com had been doing stereotype history lately but might have comment.

I've seen music engraving, and I've seen samples of musical note type, but I don't think I've ever seen actual setting of notes as type. It must have been done! I've seen mathematical formulas locked up as type in metal. Which is pretty complex too.
