[smufl-discuss] Re: JSON

[Robert Piéchaud]

Hi,

Interesting discussion.

@Daniel: what would be the minimalistic json metadata (which I confess I havn’t digged into so much) that a font package *should* include? (from none to… ?)

@Laurent: using FontForge as well, I would definitely be interested in your bounding box script. Thank you if you share this.

I added them manually for every notehead to show stem connection points on the left and right sides, likewise on all of the flags, and also where the "cut-outs" in the accidental glyphs should go. The names for these anchors are documented in the 'Notes for implementers' section in the SMuFL specification.
