This font is a collection of musical accidentals for uses in musical and music-theoretical contexts. The symbols should, at the very least, line up at a common line and have similar size to regular characters, so you can use them to express just about anything relating to musical pitch, particularly microtonal theory.
The set includes (in no logical order, my apologies):
- Regular accidentals up to triple sharp and triple flat
- Stein-Zimmerman quarter tone accidentals up to double-semi-sharp and double-semi-flat
- Accidentals with arrows, up to two arrows up/down on both sets of regular accidentals (up to double flat/sharp) and Stein accidentals (up to sesqui-sharp/sesqui-flat)
- Wyschnegradsky 72-EDO accidentals, up to 11/12-tone sharp and 11/12-tone flat
- Turkish accidentals used in the Turkish 53-EDO-esque system, as well as x-comma sharps and flats
- Persian quarter tone accidentals, should they be needed
- Heimholtz-Ellis Just Intonation accidentals up to 29-limit JI, as well as symbols for tempered notes
- Simple arrows. Just two arrows; one up, one down.
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
An easy (?) way to type jianpu (numbered musical notation) on your word processor. Not very polished and doesn't have sharps, flats and other embellishments (yet), but gets the job done in a pinch?
Not very intuitive to guess which keys map where (except maybe 0 and 1-7) - look at the key maps.
This is a cloneThis typeface converts your typing into musical notes. The idea is very simple and can create realistic looking sheet music. The font includes upper and lower case letters and numbers together with a treble-cleft with a time signature, a hash sign, dividing bars, an end bar and a double end bar.
Write your message on your word processor. You will need to use 48pt to have all the five staves showing up so keep your message short :)
Start each sentence with a treble-cleft which is the "&" key on your keyboard, it also adds a 4/4 time signature for authenticity. Upper case letters show as double notes, lower case and numbers as single notes. Numbers should be written with a comma "," between them eg:1,2,3 etc 10,11,12 etc 100,101,102. The comma inserts a short length of blank staves.
Now ...... comes the fun ! Count four notes and press the "!" key. This will place a barline vertically across the staves (the five horizontal lines on which the notes are written). Repeat this every 4 notes until you reach the end of the line then press the "." key. You must end with a full 4 note bar even if this leaves a space at the right margin. At the beginning of the next line press the "&" key to insert a new treble-cleft. Count 4 notes then the "!" key etc .... Repeat this process until you reach the end of your message, finish with a "."
Use this type face as a cipher to send secret messages which can be easily read by the recipient if they have this typeface on their computer. To anyone else this will appear to be sheet music.*° It can also be used to convert poems into a musical score, to rewrite the music of simple songs, word for word, or to compose original music. I am sure you will be able to find other uses also. Have fun ;)
*° Actually it won't appear as sheet music as I had hoped because the computer receiving the message will use its default font to print out the message if this font is not installed. That applies to all so called code fonts ... what a shame!
Weaving Score is a decorative font for musical notation. You can make ornamental musical scores with this font. The correspondence of notation and keys are shown below. You can download the HD image from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j85c5253qh644or/AADN8-pft-lH2IF3GYiYEduga?dl=0
