Requested by Robin Walker:

"In SMuFL, there do not seem to be any symbols for the "full barré" and "half-barré" (Gould page 376). One could argue that the letter capital C might do nicely, but that would exclude the possibility of some stylistic differentiation between a textual capital C and a barré symbol. Also, one of the possible symbols for a half-barré is a C with a vertical stroke, which is not easily available by other means, and one would want the C and the half-barré stroked C to have the same style: so if SMuFL were to provide the stroked C it ought also to provide the C in the same style.

While on the topic of half-barré, a correspondent recently pointed out that the notation ½C should preferably use a half symbol (½) where the numerator and denominator are vertically above each other, with a horizontal separator, rather than offset with a sloping separator. I've heard musicians say the same thing in other contexts as well, such as when fractions are used in time signatures. Maybe SMuFL should encourage SMuFL font designers to include those fraction forms as stylistic variations."
