RE: How to Add Beams to Notes

“Rather than using "unused code positions", I would always recommend to use some of the Private Use code points.” Consider it done. “What is the intended usage of your font? Music score applications? others?” I am simply going to make a series of full Unicode fonts (which, due

Re: How to Add Beams to Notes

Consider also that the BMP is almost full, the remaining few holes are kept for isolated characters that may be added to existing scripts, or permanently reserved to avoid clashes with legacy softwares using simple code remappings between distinct blocks, or to perform simple case conversions

A little humor is very good. sarasvaþi was a sweet girl, I am sure, so much so that when she died, I think, those who were imagining about her beyond practical, made her rise up, up and fly away. Now you watch what happens to Elizabeth when she dies. They narrowly failed making one such with

This whole attempt to make digitizing Indic script some esoteric, 'abstract', 'semantic representation' and so on seems to me is an attempt to make Unicode the realm of the some super humans. The purpose of writing is to represent speech. It is not some secret that demi-gods created that we

Re: How to Add Beams to Notes

Bad news, I’m afraid. What is the intended usage of your font? Music score applications? others? The overall problem with musical notation is, there is no comprehensive character encoding standard and no generally working text and layout composing method established. In the light of that fact

How to Add Beams to Notes

I am trying to make a music notation font. It will use the Musical Symbols block in Unicode (1D100-1D1FF), but, since that block has a bad rep for not being very complete, I added some extra characters in the unmapped positions of that block (e.g. U+1D127 inverts the stem of the previous note,
