New accidental request: half-accidentals with arrows
The Xenharmonic Alliance community requests four additional accidentals:
* Tartini half-sharp (accidental number 12) combined with up arrow
* Tartini half-sharp (accidental number 12) combined with down arrow
* Mirrored flat (accidental number 9) combined with up arrow
* Mirrored flat (accidental number 9) combined with down arrow
Combined with the existing accidentals, these would allow straightforward and logical notation of the relatively popular equal division of the octave into 72 parts, as well as other microtonal systems.
Vector images of the accidental glyphs can be found in the following TrueType font, mapped to the letters 't', 'k', 'e', and 'h': http://www.hindson.com.au/fonts/AccidentalsFont.zip
Also, if it's not too much trouble, the following four additional accidentals are desired for completeness:
* Tartini sharp-and-a-half (accidental number 15) combined with up arrow
* Tartini sharp-and-a-half (accidental number 15) combined with down arrow
* Ordinary flat plus mirrored flat (accidental number 8) combined with up arrow
* Ordinary flat plus mirrored flat (accidental number 8) combined with down arrow
These are available in the same TrueType font, mapped to the characters 'u', ';', 'q', and 'f'.

Hi
I could be wrong, but aren't some of these available in the forthcoming version? If you haven't, could you check download a nightly build, or compile the source code?
Thanks :).

The accidental palettes between 1.2 and the trunk look the same. If he could post a pic of each accidental that would help.
Using the symbols from the font you linked to is probably not an option since they will look different from the one included in the current MuseScore font. However, the basic part + the arrows are already there in the MuseScore font. So if a font artist wants to change the MuseScore font, I can do the wiring in the code.
