Open to comments and suggerstions!
The current month seems to hold a meaning of threads: of fog, dew covered spiders' webs, barely-there things, feint perceptions defying scientific understanding and fine links with ancestors, to keep us in the present and enable open minds and caring souls to better the future. This abstract interpretation of Halloween has been designed to echo the traditionally mysterious mood to show the past (known glyphs, earlier FS bricks) linked in the present (on paper, in the FS previews, and using some of Meek's newest bricks I experiment with in this design) to create future (text will carry meaning to the reader, diversity of thought not experienced until after every glyph is finished, and beauty of text flow is visible only after it has been written). Totally within my personal plan for Night Pegasus' work: adventurous, alternative, divergent, different, exploring, experimental, unusual -- after all, the flying horse is free to visit any time any item or existence in this universe and any place in Fontstruct, to discover and weigh possibilities, to create its future from the past in it's present body and mind, and it does this cloaked in black as deepest night, undiscovered unless someone has their feelers tuned into mystery and taps into experiences of presence.
:.:.:.: Information to help you when using this font :.:.:.:
If a LC glyph follows a UC glyph: you need to use the space bar 6X to get the correct letter space (it will then match the natural spacing between LC); using only LC glyphs (or only UC glyphs) will give satisfactory text results as letter space is set by the programming. But you'll need to manually add the word space you want: between UC (or LC) words a minimum of 3 space taps for a just visible gap, use the space bar 6x for good spacing. Experiment!
Note: the full stop and comma have a line on the baseline to link with UC. There might be no need for a 'space' after those two marks even on LC? The apostrophy has a short line to link it to previous/following UC glyphs (note those link lines retain the meaning of the glyph when used with LC glyphs or an LC following an UC glyph).
SPACE BAR = a 1px space; tap 3x to get a small word space that's obvious
% key = a set of reasonably wide lines to match upper case verticals
_underscore = a space consisting of a long single line on base line only
I'm trying to figure out some diacritics before the 31st so this remains WIP
mono 7x11 pixel font
times ive downloaded this font: 9
A pixel font for Western-style music notation. This allows treble and bass staff to be read and written at very small sizes, making it useful for pixel games, pixel comics, or anything else that needs to be at extremely low resolution.
Given the limits of the chosen method along with the limits of staff notation itself, this font won't please every musician. All suggestions are welcome for improving this one!
Original size: 10pt (use multiples of 10pt for pixel perfection)

USAGE
Read the wiki article on scientific pitch notation if you need help understanding note-names.
_ draws staff lines.
` or ~ at the beginning mark your staff as either a bass or treble staff.
Use a letter from R-Z and then one from r-z to mark the time signature. (Most songs are in 4/4).
Use UPPER CASE to notate for bass staff.
Use lower case to notate for treble staff.
Use <.1234567890,> and {?!@#$%^&*()+} to mark sharps and flats respectively. I recommend using these markings to REPLACE the notes they are meant to alter, rather than writing them next to the notes as you would with traditional staff.
Create some new staff lines between each note to seperate the notes in time. When you place notes without these spaces, notes will stack up on one another. You can use this principle in different ways to create chords and arpeggios.
------------------------------------------------------------------
BASS STAFF
A - A1, B - B1
C - C2, D - D2, E - E2, F - F2, G - G2, H - A2, I - B2
J - C3, K - D3, L - E3, M - F3, N - G3, O - A3, P - B3
Q - C4 (middle C)
------------------------------------------------------------------
TREBLE STAFF
a - A3, b - B3
c - C4, d - D4, e - E4, f - F4, g - G4, h - A4, i - B4
j - C5, k - D5, l - E5, m - F5, n - G5, o - A5, p - B5

SYMBOLS & MARGINALIA
_ - blank staff
RSTUVWXYZ’"' - beat divisions
rstuvwxyz“”‘ - beat times
`~ - treble and bass clefs
- - 8va/octave up
<.1234567890,> - sharp symbol in various vertical positions
{?!@#$%^&*()+} - flat symbol in various vertical positions
There is no "natural" symbol. Your writing should take this into account.
