Proposed Additions
Requested by Myke Cuthbert. Provide glyphs for drawing simple beamed groups of notes, cf. Bach, Opus Metronome, or Metronome (DVM Publications).
Requested by Myke Cuthbert. Breve (double whole note) should have a separate glyph for the alternative graphical form (square head) since fonts will want to support both.
Requested by Myke Cuthbert. "U+1D1C9 / U+E5B2 should be "Tempus Perfectum cum Prolatione imperfecta" NOT perfecta -- code point U+E5B3 is the prolatione perfecta symbol. The first one should also have a code point for "Cut Circle" which is graphically identical but has a different meaning."
Requested by Myke Cuthbert. "There should be different code points for Black and White mensural notation. And there are many more symbols for Black Mensural notation not included in Unicode. See my Ciconia font (and you have permission to steal/borrow/use from it with attribution). Void symbols in Black Mensural notation have similar but slightly different forms from White mensural symbols and have very different semantic meanings, so they should have their own code points. Happy to help there." http://www.trecento.com/fonts/ciconia_instructions.pdf http://www.trecento.com/fonts
Requested by Myke Cuthbert. "I don't see support for roman numeral chord analysis (V7#5b3 with the numbers stacked, for instance) -- there are a number of fonts that support this and it's a perennial problem. Please consider support for this."
Requested by Myke Cuthbert. "Are function theory symbols U+E630-U+E639 to be used for scale degrees? If so they should have a hat (^) over them. If not, please add these symbols. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Music#Scale_degrees"
Requested by David Webber.
Requested by Emil Wojtacki and David Webber. "Accidentals for ornaments look better if designed for that purpose (thicker lines, more compact form)."
DS: I suggest defining these as stylistic alternates for the main accidentals.
Consider moving the "tall" versions of the 6-string and 4-string tab clefs to become stylistic alternates for the "normal" versions.
