The Unicode Standard version 6.3 specifies character codes for music in the range 1D00-1DFF. Two of these are 1D173 (Begin Beam) and 1D174 (End Beam).
Is the purpose of these character codes for specifying the ligature start and end points of a beam in the resulting output? If so, what's required to achieve the desired output?
Comments
MuseScore draws beams itself, in the staves, without using the SMuFL glyphs. Those glyphs might be used in plain text.
