This will always be a beta version of html-music because the glyphs in
the musicalsymbols
font will be used for images of notes, rests, clefs, etc., and ems will be
used for the positions of the glyphs and for properties of stave-lines,
bars, stems, beams, etc. That makes
all of this scalable, by choice of the font-size, but no matter what the units and
because of roundoff and/or truncation errors, results in some font sizes look all right
while in other sizes, especially small ones, the results look pretty bad. My plan
is to develop html algorithms for most of the musical typsetting here, and then,
at least once if I have the stamina, to construct a nonscalable version
where images are always images and everything is measured in pixels.
- Info about the font, musicalsymbols, is
here.
- Some problems with the font, musicalsymbols, are illustrated in
quirks, and
fntsz.
- Nice staves, onscreen or printed, at last, are in
staves, images,
spaces and vspace,.
- Some of the basic beams are in
beams.
- More beams, stems and other vertical bars in
more.
- Beginnings of ties and slurs are in
booty.
- Next will be whatever is next in
htmls.
