I think this is what the documentation says about entering notes with adjusted vertical positions, but this does not work in my text applications. U+E0A4 ('noteheadBlack') for displaying a notehead on the lowered staff position.U+EB9E ('staffPosLower7') for lowering the notehead 7 semitones.U+E014 ('staff5Lines') for displaying a 5 line staff.I configured Word 2013 to enable ligatures and I entered the following code points: In my example I use the correct code points as mentioned in the mailing list answer. The correct code points are U+EB90–U+EB9F. I found out that the code points for the vertical positioning characters mentioned in the documentation are wrong, per a mailing list reply.

The documentation file, bravura-text.md, says the following about how to adjust vertical positions:īravura Text uses OpenType ligatures to modify the default vertical position of symbols. All I can see is the notehead on its default position which is the tone B (on the middle line of a 5 line staff). But I didn't manage to raise/lower the noteheads. I tried to use that features in text applications like Word 2013, Open Office Writer and Libre Office Writer. There are special characters to raise/lower a notehead on the staff to represent the different tones. I did a little research on the features of Bravura Text and the documentation of the font points out, that it is possible to write notes and adjust their vertical position on a staff. I want to use that font in an application that I am currently developing. I am trying to use an Open Type music font called Bravura Text.
