Ist SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout) der „neue“ Standard bzw. Nachfolger von MusicXML?
Neu kann man eigentlich nicht sagen, da es #SMuFL schon seit 1985 gibt und #MusicXML seit 2004. #Musiknotatation #Notation #Notensatz #Notensatzprogramme

@Neblib @enigmatico really?

  • Would be cool to see it...

Next thing you gonna tell me @tantacrul already submitted a proposal to support #SMuFL for #MusicNotation in #Toots...

How I Designed a Free Music Font for 5 Million Musicians (MuseScore 3.6)

This video covers how I designed a music notation font for MuseScore 3.6, in collaboration with my friend Simon Smith, a professional engraving expert. Apart...

@Lichtenbergian @MissConstrue same with [most] #Linux #desktop distros...

Worst-case the composer in question will have to basically get their scores exported as PDF and then someone has to painstakingly enter them elsewhere if not wait for an #OCR-Tool that can handle #SheetMusic and output stuff in #SMuFL as a #Unicode & #W3C Standard to display sheet music.

  • Ideally we'd see like a #ePub-Style container format to allow for #OpenDocument-style transferability between all major modern tools but I kinda doubt this will happen...

@MissConstrue @Lichtenbergian Good question.

I hope #Finale has some means to export #SheetMusic with #SMuFL-compliant #PDF or something similar that i.e. #MuseScore can import.

  • Cuz I'd assume that there's a way to let Finale export PDFs (if necessary via a "soft printer" like #GhostScript) of sheet music and a way to import that into competing solutions...

The best contacts with knowledge I'm aware of are @tantacrul & #DanielSpreadbury, the latter one leading the #Dorico team and being
on #Twitter...

Has anyone used #SMuFL to typeset a bit of inline music in text? I want to type a couple time signatures (3/4 and 4/4).

The way it’s supposed to work is with two number characters, each proceeded by a control character for numerator and denominator (respectively).

But in Bravura Text (which seems to be the spec’s reference font), the number characters themselves show up as denominators, and the control characters don’t seem to do anything. Ligatures are turned on.
