[smufl-discuss] Re: missing unicode mappings

[Peter Stadler]

Daniel,

thanks for the explanation.
Being no expert in this field, I naively thought that u1D1B6 to u1D1C0 could be mapped to "Medieval and Renaissance individual notes (U+E8E0–U+E8FF)“. Probably not as glyphs (sometimes different stem direction) but as characters?!

Best
Peter
