I see that the remainder of the accidentals used in
this symbol are a combination of Stein-Zimmermann accidentals (1/4 and
3/4 sharp) and the AEU accidentals (1/4 flat).I'm very happy to add this 3/4 flat accidental as
requested, but before I create a new group to contain these six accidentals
(rather than simply adding the new 3/4 flat accidental to the existing
'Other accidentals' range, which is a rag-bag of symbols that do not themselves
form coherent and self-contained systems), can you provide any references
to other uses of this 3/4 flat accidental, or publications that give a
specific name to this particular grouping of accidentals as being specifically
a 24-EDO system for Arabic music?In the meantime, I've added a GitHub issue for this
request:https://github.com/w3c/smufl/issues/44and I expect it will be possible to include this in
the upcoming SMuFL 1.2 release.Daniel
