Musical Notation Fonts?
May 20th, 2009, 2:35am  
Hi All,
I’m searching for a musical notation font that works with processing, but I don’t find anything. Somebody have one or suggest me a solution?
Thanks a lot for the help
David

You might use a font with an extended Unicode support, like Arial Unicode MS (available on Windows) or some others (Deja Vu Sans is quite complete too).

In Basic Multilingual Plane: Miscellaneous Symbols block:
♩♪♫♬♭♮♯
\u2669\u266A\u266B\u266C\u266D\u266E\u266F

In Supplementary Multilingual Plane: Musical Symbols block:
𝄀𝄁𝄂𝄃𝄆𝄇𝄈𝄖𝄗𝄘𝄙𝄚𝄛𝄜𝄝𝄞𝄢𝄫𝄬𝄭𝄮𝄯𝄰𝄱𝄴𝄵𝅗𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅭
\U0001D100\U0001D101\U0001D102\U0001D103\U0001D106\U0001D107\U0001D108\U0001D116
\U0001D117\U0001D118\U0001D119\U0001D11A\U0001D11B\U0001D11C\U0001D11D\U0001D11E
\U0001D122\U0001D12B\U0001D12C\U0001D12D\U0001D12E\U0001D12F\U0001D130\U0001D131
\U0001D134\U0001D135\U0001D15E\U0001D15F\U0001D160\U0001D161\U0001D16D
(seen in Code2001 font)
The symbols will look funny if you don't have the right font...

I found these with the BabelMap utility, a must have IMHO.

Another way: go to a font site, look at Music category, browser to skip all "dingbat" fonts (images of musical instruments or musicians), and see if there are musical symbols.
Example in dafont.com: Lassus
In MyFonts.com, I see three (payware).
