Hi,

Herb... I had found that pdf file at some point previously, but it didn't really help me out. But thanks for providing the link.

Gary... I realize I haven't been able to just "type" and end up with "music," but I have been messing with leading and tracking to create my own sequence of notes and notation "composites" when I can (as described in the pdf "font design specification"). But even when looking at the Sonata glyph variations or the "repertoire" in Font Book, I don't see what characters would be used in order to generate beams. Perhaps beams are generated through some other graphical method within specialized software like Finale or Sibelius, and are not a part of the font at all. Do you happen to know about this?

I'm trying to animate musical symbols in After Effects, and I don't think getting output from Finale or something else would be as versatile. Treating these things like any other form of type is really the way to go. Maybe there's a plug-in out there for working with a music font (like Sonata) in conjunction with AE, but I doubt it. Sure would be nice. Like something where you could type in sequences of notes (using the A through G keys) and use other characters to indicate sharps and flats and note duration and you tell what clef you want to use and it just makes it... wouldn't that be sweet?! Anyone want to code that up for me real quick?
