David, Regarding a part of what you wrote, viz., I'm curious
I often have 4 or 5 music fonts in use (Maestro, Fughetta, Toccatta, Bach, etc.) in one piece. It's *not* transparent at all for many things, because you have to know which font has which characters in it.
...<snippage of a quote from a prior post of mine>...
The music font should be a single font, with all the choices you'd ever need. That would mean it would be much larger than 256 characters. This would also make it possible to have the text font included in the main music font.
Perhaps you might comment on the advantages you perceive of having the choices of notation symbols one would ever need, and perhaps text, too, text combined into a single font. I see definite advantages of unicode support in text blocks; the advantage of being able to provide performance instructions in Romanian or Greek, or lyrics in Japanese ideograms are obvious. I don't perceive advantages of having text and notation in a single font. In fact, I think I see disadvantages to this, but will reserve those until you have had set forth the advantages you see.
