I'm curious as to whether there are plans to add any of the following glyphs, or whether any of them are already available?
1. inverted/descending quilisma
2. scandicus flexus initio debilis (or torculus urgens)
3. upper auxiliary notes

If the interval between the second and third note is only a second, I can create no. 2 without difficulty, but I've found no way to connect the pes intitio debilis to a subsequent higher note.  I'm working on a performing edition of the Proper of the Mass for Sundays and feasts based on the mensuralist interpretation of Jan van Biezen; all of the above would be useful.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have pictures of each of these that could be used as a basis for the glyphs?

Hello Father,

This should give an idea of what I'm after:

For context:
vanbiezenglyphs.jpg

At the top is my current solution; the handwritten examples are from Van Biezen.  No. 2 is successful here, but it would be disconnected at a larger interval.  The inverted quilisima comes from Montpellier (H 159), which is referenced in the text but not copied in the examples.

Any idea about the possibility of adding the descending quilisma/tremula in a future release?  Is the letter m currently in use in GABC code?
