Refine double whole noteheads
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Currently the standard double whole note only has one vertical line on each side instead of two. According to SMuFL specs this should rather be an alternate glyph: https://www.w3.org/2019/03/smufl13/tables/noteheads.html#recommended-stylistic-alternates
The breve head (noteheadDoubleWholeSquare) looks disproportionately wide. It is too thin compared to the normal whole notehead. And in most classic prints I looked up the vertical lines spread almost two staff spaces. Here are some examples:
Good spot! We'll attend to the double-vertical-line version immediately. (We're just preparing a new release at the moment as it happens.)
I'm not entirely clear whether you're saying that Leland's noteheadDoubleWholeSquare is too wide, or too narrow :)
Thanks! To me it looks too wide. I would keep it within the boundaries of the other double whole glyph. But mainly the horizontal lines are too thin compared to their width.
The double-vertical-line note has been added in https://github.com/MuseScoreFonts/Leland/releases/tag/v0.72 and the old version is now a stylistic alternate for it, as per SMuFL.
The design of the square double-whole note is actually as intended, so has not changed for now.
So this issue can get closed I guess
Yes.
