[smufl-discuss] Wavy line segments, vertical and horizontal

[Joseph Berkovitz]

Just a minor note on components of wavy lines. The spec states, quite rightly,

> Likewise, scoring applications should draw glissandi using multiple instances of a wiggly
> line segment (e.g. U+E21A), not the precomposed glyphs, to provide variable length
> and angle.

This statement carries an implied requirement to clearly identify the glyphs that provide line components. E21A is called out by this footnote, but the code point is labeled simply "Ornament stroke 2" which is not descriptive.

I think such glyphs deserve their own category, since they are not standalone ornaments but building-blocks. And the wavy-line segment in particular is of such importance that it deserves a clearly labeled code point.  Perhaps the vertical arpeggiation wavy-line could also use its own code point, and also the arrows that terminate those lines.
