Impossible to type sequences

Open zai-tm opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Some sequences are impossible to type, such as MUSICAL SYMBOL EIGHTH NOTE, because the keys don't exist. image

I noticed this too. Some sequences are unusual.

You can still type them by using the Unicode code point directly. It says "U+1D160" in your screenshot, so you'd type <compose key> <u> <1> <d> <1> <6> <0> <space> and WinCompose should insert 𝅘𝅥𝅮.

You can also make alternative more convenient sequences by editing the .XCompose file. Hopefully WinCompose will have a sequence editor interface soon.

That doesn't work.

Oh, you may need to enable "Advanced Unicode input" in the options.

The more common symbol is ♪ U+266A EIGHTH NOTE. (Compose # e)

U+1D160 is in the Unicode block meant to be used by musical score fonts, instead of plaintext, so there is no point having sequences for anything in there. Your scorewriting program will handle all that for you.
