How are the chance for adding an accidentalQuarterToneSharpZimmermann

Open bwbohl opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I observed that there is a glyph range “Stein-Zimmermann accidentals” (24-EDO) (U+E280–U+E28F). In my work at the Zimmermann complete edition project, it has become obvious that this glyph range misses the Zimmermann-specific notations of the quarter and three-quarter sharps.

  • The quarter sharp is essentially a regular sharp missing the lower 'horizontal' line.
  • The three-quarter sharp is a combination of the quarter-tone sharp followed by a regular sharp

Zimmermann uses this notation in his handwriting and also the print publications followed his model. How are the chances of adding these to the free codepoints in the block?

@dspreadbury I'm delighted to see this has been added to the SMuFL 1.5 milestone! There is yet another variant of the three-quarter sharp to be added from Zimmermann’s autographs: a normal sharp with a third 'horizontal' line. If it helps, I'm also willing to file a pull request ;-)

@dspreadbury I fixed some naming inconsistencies in the pull request and I could also provide characters for the Bravura font, what would be the best way for doing that?

Sorry that I'm not actively working on SMuFL tasks at the moment, @bwbohl. If you'd like to attach outlines in e.g. SVG format, I can integrate those into Bravura when I'm next able to work on this stuff.
