>> Hello David,
>> Taking a look to the note name noteheads, it appears that you gave wrong names to some notes. In French the note names are : Do, Ré, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si. I don't know if there's is a reason the Sol became a So and the Si a Ti.<

For now, H# is missing.

> My point (and I can't find whether I made it or not, but probably did) was that for a font embracing international chord names you need essentially the whole alphabet (upper and lower case).   But I think Daniel has that on board.

I don't know the note names for each languages. The japanese, byzantine and indian names seems to be different though. So maybe to so extent you're right.
