Hi,
I've noticed that accidental glyphs don't mix well with text: their
baseline is incorrect, and their size doesn't match the letters. Look
at the chordnames resulting from input below: the accidentals are too
big. If they were of correct height, they would become too thin and
generally too small. Also, look at the figured bass: the accidentals
are totally unreadable - definately too small! But if we simply
change font-size, they would become too high.
I think the solution is to create a shorter variaton of accidental
glyphs; an example in the attachment. How do you like this idea? Do
you think all accidentals should have shorter versions, or would it be
overkill to create for example a shorter version of 3-stemmed sharp or
arrowed flat?
cheers,
Janek
