Hello, When changing font in text processing, you switch to a different font, and most time that's it. Relative placement is taken care of by the provided font metrics.
In music notation there is a font, but at least within Lilipond objects like staves are draws not using glyphs from fonts but more primitive graphics objects. So I feel one should also change the layout of quite a few graphical objects when switching fonts. I wonder whether one would call that "layout" or "style". In the current SMuFL paper (Version 0.4) there are some options: use complete notes as provided, or assemble from notehead, stem and flag ? is there some guidance how to match stem height to flag for best visual appearance ? use complete brackets, or assemble (and combine with a non-font line) ? What line thickness to go with U+E003 / U+E004 ? ? Should there be a vertical line in the font with such thickness ? use the staves (with the line thickness as provided) or draw lines While "Scoring programs should draw their own staff lines using primitives" ? does the font tell you what the line thickness should be ? So how to package this ancillary information to go with a "font"?
