Hi all, although I suspect this could once more become a longish and scattered thread, I feel forced to bring it up here. What do you think: would it make sense to open up LilyPond thinking to the idea of SMuFL brought up by Steinberg and Daniel Spreadbury? http://www.smufl.org http

of SMuFL brought up by Steinberg and Daniel Spreadbury? http://www.smufl.org http://www.smufl.org/ Of course currently it's only their new Bravura font that complies to that proposed standard. But I can imagine there will be more 'participators' in mid-term future. Making Emmentaler/Feta SMuFL

them in a suitable application. If LilyPond really accesses the glyphs by their names this wouldn't even imply any internal changes. But then, if we intended to allow LilyPond to use other SMuFL-compliant fonts, there *would* be internal changes, as we would have to have, at a minimum

to Unicode numbers I think that would be very simple, just a matter of remapping them in a suitable application. If LilyPond really accesses the glyphs by their names this wouldn't even imply any internal changes. But then, if we intended to allow LilyPond to use other SMuFL

SMuFL has nothing much to do with preserving the Unicode standard. If you can get the Unicode consortium to participate in outlining SMuFL stuffs in its standard than it would be good, but an abstracted standard used by one or two applications is a bad idea especially for one text based like ours

Greetings List, There's an old IT joke that the beauty of having standards is that there are so many to choose from! I agree with Shane. The SMuFL standard is just a specification cooked up by Steinberg for the new program. It's been possible for them to consider this since

Unicode is a *character* standard, mainly to *exchange* information. It is *not* related to glyphs, or to fonts. The SMuFL team correctly maps the glyphs to the Private Area of Unicode, and they don't suggest the inclusion of any of those entities into the Unicode standard
