:: Thanks for your thoughts, Flora. Besides the minor flaws (lenghts of verticals) the sharps seem okay to me, but the flats are harder. I'm not sure if sticking with the b-shape isn't the fundamental problem here. But you are experienced with fonts maybe you are the right person for the details. Maybe having three lines is for 4 accidentals each is not ideal. I did a tiny improvement right now to set the single accidental glyphs apart from each other (maybe a browser refresh will be needed). --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 06:50, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

::: For the record, if there are issues with the flat accidentls, I'd have to say that the thickness and angle of the extra strokes on the stems of the narrow and wide quartertones is most likely to be the problem. Perhaps those cross strokes ought to be thicker and should set a 60-degree angles rather than 45-degree angles... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 14:15, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
