14th century music ("Mensuralnotation")
Hi, I'd like to typeset various symbols (as examples included in normal text lines) from musical notation from the 14th century ("Mensuralnotation"). These symbols can be seen in http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf I just have absolutely no idea e.g. which font these symbols support ... Could someone show me a way? Thanks, Steffen

Some fast googling found this: http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/readme-of.txt http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/old-feta.tar.gz For just a few symbols using these fonts directly should do, but if you want to typeset music you probably should be using lilypond. Best wishes, Taco

Hi Steffen, You might want to have a look at this font: http://openfontlibrary.org/media/files/Eimai/191 (though I'm not sure this font covers all the symbols you need.) A good resource for finding fonts is: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html HTH, Jelle

Indeed: via this link (alanwood.net) I found http://users.teilar.gr/ ~g1951d/ and there http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/Musical.pdf (plus the corresponding font) Unbelievable stuff! Byzantine notation!! I never dared to hope that all this is available (and even non-commercial) with fonts ... Thank you very much, Steffen

It's part of Unicode, that's why. If I remember correctly there was a talk at TUG'04 (in Greece!) about that (but I doubt the devised macro package was Unicode-compliant). Arthur
