Wouldn't this be useful for 8th – 1024th rests in tight spacing situations as well? |

+1 to more cutouts, noteheads and rests too. |

The SMuFL specification does not legislate as to which glyphs may have these cut-outs defined. Font designers are free to specify cut-outs for any glyphs, or no glyphs, as they wish. In Bravura, we will specify the cut-outs both for (at least some) accidentals and noteheads as part of this change, and these cut-outs will be included in the metadata once this issue is resolved. |

This has now been done. Cut-outs for noteheads have been defined as part of Bravura version 1.204 and are included in the latest metadata files. Download the updated font redistributable here. |
SMuFL provides a mechanism to define cut-outs from all four corners of the bounding rectangles of various ranges of characters, in particular for accidentals.
It would also be useful to extend this mechanism to characters in the various noteheads ranges, because oval noteheads tend to be rotated in such a way that the tight bounding rectangle that describes them has quite large empty areas at the top-left (NW) and bottom-right (SE) corners.
As such, the proposal is that SMuFL fonts should optionally be able to define
cutOutNWandcutOutSEanchors for characters in the noteheads range, for those consuming applications that can make use of them.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
