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

In that case, am I to understand that whenever glyphs are to be positioned on the stem side, there is one single registration regardless of the stem direction, but glyphs for note side positioning have two sets, each with different registration, depending on stem direction?

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.

In my (limited) experience, these dots to show tremolo divisions go on the
stem side rather than on the notehead side, hence their alignment with the
font baseline: an application can position them by placing a glyph a
specific distance away from the stem tip, centred on the stem.
