[smufl-discuss] Re: Staccato dots for measured tremolos

Knut Nergaard
I see, thanks!

There seems to only be downstem versions of he glyphs in the Tremolo category (the dots without slurs). As far as I know these shapes tend to go on the note side regardless of stem direction. To avoid having to add a duplicate set with registration for upstem notes, I could centre these glyphs on the baseline, but I’m not sure whether thats appropriate or not.

I was wondering why the composite glyphs of multiple staccato dots
with and without slurs above/below are split between the different
classes (tremolos, wind techniques, string techniques, etc.). Aren’t
they all used by different types of instruments more or less
regardless of shape (i.e., essentially all in the tremolo category)?

The groupings are essentially arbitrary, in as much as they are what made
sense to me as I was putting the standard together. We could slice and
dice the current groupings as shown in the specification any which way,
but at this stage, since the glyph names and code points for existing
characters are locked down, it's sort of a moot point.
