Issue

The rests of mensural notation have the wrong heights in Noto Music. The longa imperfecta rest should be two spaces tall. The brevis rest should be one space tall. The semibrevis and minima rests should each be half a space tall, the former in the top half of the space and the latter in the bottom half. The semiminima rest should look like the minima rest with a rightwards hook. All of these plus the longa perfecta rest, which is already correctly three spaces tall, should be aligned to the staff.

Here are examples of what they should look like: 1, 2 p. 43, 3. Their absolute heights do not seem to be standardized.

I got to know this open standard named SMuFL, used for musical notation exchanges. The standard itself featured thousands of characters, way more than the Musical Symbols block can offer, even though this would resort to the use of Private Use Area block, including the "real" Unicode codepoints is still recommended for this standard.

Noto Music only supports the Musical Symbols block.

So I would like to know if there's any plan to support the standard?

Thank you.

Shouldn't the eighth note (and beamed eighth notes, U+266B, for that matter) 
have the size of uppercase letters (cap or ascender height) instead of 
lowercase (x-height)?

Issue

Noto Music’s coverage of ancient Greek musical notation is incomplete: it only includes the characters in the Ancient Greek Musical Notation block. The other base symbols are unified with the Greek capital letters U+0391 to U+03A1, U+03F9 (not U+03A3), and U+03A4 to U+03A9, and U+2127 INVERTED OHM SIGN. The other diacritics are unified with U+0305 COMBINING OVERLINE (diseme) and U+0307 COMBINING DOT ABOVE (stigme). These all need to be in Noto Music, instead of relying on font fallback, so that mark attachment can work. Sources: L2/02-316, The TLG Beta Code Manual.

Issue

The Unicode Standard says “Even though the null notehead has no visual appearance of its own, it is not a default ignorable code point; some indication of its presence, as for instance a dotted box glyph, should be shown if displayed outside of a context that supports full musical rendering.” In this font, it appears as a space. That’s better than a glyph with no advance width, but it would be even better if it were visible. Combining marks should still look good when applied to it; maybe the glyph should remain a space when there’s a mark.

Issue

Ano, meso, and kato mean ‘up’, ‘middle’, and ‘down’. Noto Music does not place certain Byzantine musical symbols accordingly. They should respectively be higher than the oligon, at the height of the oligon, and lower than the oligon. (This does not apply to U+1D093, U+1D094, U+1D0C1, or U+1D0C2, in which those words do not refer to the symbols’ heights.)

Proper GPOS and GDEF support is needed for the ancient Greek musical symbols notation at U+1D200..U+1D245. The combining marks at U+1D242..1D244 should be able to combine with the rest of the symbols in the set.
