Hi Daniel,

I understand why these glyphs are from left to right, but the names
doesn't match. I should have been clearer: glyphs EA8B and EA8C have
then names 'Arpeggiato arrowhead up/down' but they don't have an
arrowhead. Glyphs EA8D and EA8E are called 'Arpeggiato upward/downward
swash', but they have an arrowhead. Am I mistaken?

Thanks for the link, I will play around with Mus2.
