Re: New Notation Symbols Created - How to Share With Others?

Hi Casey,

Thanks very much for bringing this to the group. If you would like to submit the symbols you have devised for Chop Notation for consideration for inclusion in SMuFL, you would be very welcome. I see somebody (you?) has already created a GitHub issue to that end (https://github.com/w3c/smufl/issues/115).

If you are the originator of the symbols, you will need to give your express permission for your symbols to be included in the SMuFL standard and implemented without the requirement for any royalties etc. to be paid.

The first step would be to formally join the CG, if you haven’t yet done so, and in doing so agree to the Contributor License Agreement, which warrants that any contribution of intellectual property that you make will be made in such a way that the IP can be freely implemented by anybody who wants to follow the standard.

Greetings to all,

First time to the group…not sure if I’m in the right place or not. Definitely out of my league now in some work I’ve been doing and looking for some direction. I found this group on recommendation of someone that would like to use new notation I’ve created.

I have developed and released new notational symbols for the percussive bowed string technique known as “chopping.” The goal is standardising it for composers, players, and educators. The work is called The Chop Notation Project. <https://www.worldofchop.com> if you’d like to know more.

I’m a basic Sibelius user and was able to create the notation in that program. I’ve been receiving requests from musicians who would like to incorporate the symbols within their scores. I’ve made a Sibelius score available for copy/pasting symbols into other scores. I don’t know Finale and have provided PNG graphics to those users that would like to import them.

I understand that adding these symbols to a font and providing that would probably be preferred, but I’m not sure how to go about.

I appreciate any direction/help you can give and sorry if I’m not in the right place.

Many thanks,
Casey
