[smufl-discuss] Re: Glyph Registration and Graphical Metadata

Alexander Blank
I'd like to chime in, agreeing with Daniel that encoding multiple
sizes of the same glyphs runs the risk of unnecessarily wasting space.
 It seems to me that it should be the scoring software's job (and the
engraver's, too) to understand the semantic differences between a
"beginning of system" clef and a "clef change" clef, and implement the
size-reduction on the software side.  Not only would that reduce the
amount of work the font designer is required to do and save space
within the font standard, but it would also allow for the
engraver/software greater flexibility and control over their
documents.
