Adding new SMuFL glyphs to MuseScore notehead library.

See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/9805

Hmm, do I see it right that these noteheads only ever make sense in drum notation, but never ever in a normal pitched staff? And as such should not show in the noteheads palette or Inspector at all, only in the Edit Drumset dialog (and then also in a drum staff).

There's a problem with those noteheads: they bring along their own stem, always up (and flag, for the "double" ones), so any 'normal' stem, flag or beam would need to get disabled

Workaround is to take them from the master palette. No playback though

Also unclear: whether and how to im- and/or export from/to MusicXML

Had a look at how to do that in MusicXML, but the spec is not clear enough for me.

Thanks for checking anyhow 😃

Please do not disable the normal stem. This is an additional stem that flags the note as a flam (or a douplé in case of the ministem with flag) I’ll try to find an example to demonstrate the use
Edit: here you see the use of U+EE70 as a flam:

Dear all, I tried to find the glyphs in the master palette as Jojo-Schmitz suggests in his workaround but I could not find them. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Oops, didn't intend to toggle that workaround flag... sorry

View > Master palette > Symbols, there search for "swiss"
However, MuseScore up to 3.6.2 doesn't support SMuFL 1.4 and Bravura doesn't have those prior to that. Only the later 3.x nightly builds do, and master (which will become MuseScore 4) has them too.
So indeed there is no workaround for MusesCore 3.6.2 (and no furter 3.x is planned to get released)

Thank you! I‘ll try the nightly build then until 4.0 is out.

You can also try the artifacts from PR #9000 (needs a GitHub account though)

Checked the spec once again, now I think I understand how to do this. There are basically three different ways to specify a non-standard notehead:

1) if the notehead type is a standard shape with the note name as text inside the notehead, encode as a notehead-text element (https://www.w3.org/2021/06/musicxml40/musicxml-reference/elements/noteh…)

2) if the notehead type is a non-standard shape listed in https://www.w3.org/2021/06/musicxml40/musicxml-reference/data-types/not…, encode as a notehead element with as content the value as found in the notehead-value table.

3) if the notehead type is a non-standard shape not listed in the notehead-value table but with a defined SMuFL notehead glyph, encode as a notehead element with content "other" and an attribute "smufl" specifying the SMuFL canonical glyph name. For the new glyphs, the names would be: swissRudimentsNoteheadBlackFlam, swissRudimentsNoteheadHalfFlam, swissRudimentsNoteheadBlackDouble and swissRudimentsNoteheadHalfDouble (https://w3c.github.io/smufl/releases/1.4/tables/techniques-noteheads.ht…).

So here it boils down to the 3rd method, right?

Indeed.
