The above helps. I do not know how to ask this because this is all new to me. Say I was going to create the glyph “#” for the first time. Using the naming convention I name it “accidentals.sharp” (if this is the complete name?). BUT I would use the name (or one of it equals) “…is” to print “#...”? * *Why two names?* *What convention is used for the second name (not a part of mf/readme); this is the one I am more interested in?* *Is “#” markup (not clear what this means)? * *Thank you,* *ƒg*
