NOTATIO

I'm afraid I don't understand any of your reply. Are we talking about the same thing? I was talking about the 3/4-sharp sign... Here is a diagram illustrating what I mean. http://i.imgur.com/iCyWVTZ.png Though the height of each "container" is the same, the one on the top encompasses a gr...

Forgive me for the delay, but it seems I missed the part where it said OpenType only accepted integer values for coordinates... meaning I have to redo a bunch of glyphs as the rounding from the Adobe Illustrator importation hasn't worked out quite as nicely as I'd have liked it. :( The new 3/4-sharp...

Thank you erelievonen for your thoughts! As I myself am not so well acquainted with microtonal music, receiving your feedback is invaluable! :) I absolutely agree that the combined three-quarter-tone flat symbol is in every way superior to the separated one! It's worth noting that as I do intend to ...

My design philosophy is quite simple: each component of the shape should be able to be defined by simple ratios or formulae. To explain how I arrived at the quarter-tone, standard and three-quarter-tone sharp, we will first need to define a few constants. Let 1 stave space = 250 We will now decrease...

http://i.imgur.com/8Rjrv1J.png After a bit of procrastination I got around to finishing these. :) I created these from scratch through defining smaller components by mathematical and/or geometrical principles and combining these simpler shapes into the complex shapes seen here. A good deal of the p...

Amazing work, Knut! Perhaps I am not so qualified to comment as I am still very new to to the forums but I do have some suggestions to make. I think that the quaver flag should be wider, just a little under the width of a crotchet notehead — this is a issue I have with most common fonts. The flag sh...

Maybe the OP is doing just that right now! Haha, you're exactly right on that one. And I must say that this is truly one of the most frustrating things I have ever attempted to do. It's been a few weeks since I last posted and my progress is abysmal — no thanks to the fact that Illustrator has no e...

Oops! Silly me, I should have remembered to do that.

Give me a moment to find an example, most of my music is quite modern and as such lacks the breves.

I think the perfect angle might be 30° — I will post a comparison of different angles though to make sure.

Hello! So I wanted to take a top-down perspective rather than a bottom-up perspective on glyph design. As mentioned in a previous thread, Maestro's clefs are rather wobbly and uneven, and the secret to beautiful clefs seemed to be no straight lines. It seems that the most common approach to user fon...

Finally got the comparison to a fair quality. http://i.imgur.com/6ZQADGQ.png Also a couple of other noteheads I finished working on. http://i.imgur.com/R4ut7be.png I tried applying the same principles from the minim notehead to the semibreve notehead and it didn't turn out quite nicely...
