Details

Description:
Still a work in progress, but this is a font for quick and dirty musical notation. z, a, q, and 1 are low 'a.' Each is a different duration (eigth, quarter, half, whole). Use shift on those to go up an octave. Space is for formatting; one space between notes usually works. Brackets are left/right staff ends, and vertical line | is the measure divider. The right side of the keyboard is used for flats and sharps. Plus and minus are time signatures (still working on those). Backslash is a repeat sign, and tilde is measure repeat. ` is a treble clef.

A brilliant idea, expertly rendered.

Nice idea, but you really shouldn’t use a keyboard layout for mnemonics. Not everyone uses English QWERTY, you know.

Crissov: that's actually a good point. Once I finish this one, I'll create a remapped version. Any suggestions on the what keys should be what?

Map the key like music tracker programs. Y=C, S=C#, X=D, D=D#, C=E, V=F...

Font: Sorry, no Alto clef. I had intended to include at least a bass clef, but the project has fallen by the wayside.

the bust music font on fontstruct, but the most important thing you forgot is the rests
