[smufl-discuss] SMuFL 0.5 and Bravura 0.2 released

[dspreadbury]

Since the initial public releases of both SMuFL and Bravura at the Music
Encoding Conference in Mainz at the end of May, a community of application
developers, font designers and music engravers has burgeoned around the
proposed standard, and there has been a great deal of very valuable
discussion about what glyphs the standard should contain, how they should
be organised, and what technical requirements should exist for fonts to
be SMuFL-compliant.

In order to foster further discussion and as a waypoint in the development
of the standard, Steinberg is today releasing SMuFL 0.5, together with
Bravura 0.2, an updated version of the Bravura font that is compliant
with SMuFL 0.5 (with the exception of the Sagittal accidentals, which are
not yet included).

Thanks to the contributions of many members of the community too numerous
to name here, SMuFL 0.5 has almost doubled in size in comparison to SMuFL
0.4, with the addition of more than 600 new glyphs and a number of new
ranges. SMuFL 0.5 also includes an interim set of guidelines for font
metrics and glyph registration for fonts intended for use in scoring
applications, which should at this stage be considered work in progress
and a starting point for further discussion.

Thanks again to everybody who has made such valuable contributions to the
evolution of this standard to date.

All the best,

Daniel
