MuseJazz font
As part of the effort to improve the chord symbols facility, lasconic has gone ahead and added some glyphs to the MuseJazz font. I'm also trying to learn about font editing so I can contribute. Seeing the number of characters that have already been added, I'm starting to think it might actually be viable to get a complete set of upper & lower case letters for the upcoming 1.x release, which I think would be great for titles and other text markings on jazz charts . If anyone else thinks they'd be able to help over the next couple of weeks, maybe we could collaborate? Please respond if you have thoughts on this!

Collaborating on a font is not easy since it's difficult to do a diff. If you didn't modify the last version I sent you, I can add more letters. Let me know.

I was thinking about a couple of collaboration possibilities. For instance, one person could draw the glyphs and generate bitmaps for others to work on, then parcel them out for others to outline. Then one person could collect all the outlines (each saved as an SVG file, perhaps, or within "dummy" font files) and add them to the main font.
I haven't done anything yet except experiment, though, so by all means, if you feel like adding more, that would be fantastic! I just figured there were probably other higher priority things you'd rather be doing, so I'd see if we could help with this.
