Re: Naming accidentals in the SMuFL scheme

Hi Owen,

Over at MuseScore, we have a version of Emmentaler (called MScore) which is
SMuFL compliant. I made a few changes to it earlier this year to fix some
issues where it was deviating from SMuFL a bit.

Bear in mind that some of the symbols in our version have been altered by
various people over the years (notably, the accidentals) and I'm guessing
that your version has also probably gone on its own journey too! All the
same, I think it might be a useful reference, in addition to Bravura.

Here's a link to the most recent version
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tg7yklz3c8jgxww/AAAQa9vXx9i2ulAOcYUTS95Ga?dl=0>

At the very least, I'd be curious to hear how different our two versions
are from each other.

Thanks!
Martin
