      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=687a069b&id=1331278&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/><p></p>

<p>This typeface converts your typing into musical notes. The idea is very simple and can create realistic looking sheet music. The font includes upper and lower case letters and numbers together with a treble-cleft with a time signature, a hash sign, dividing bars, an end bar and a double end bar.</p>

<p>Write your message on your word processor. You will need to use 48pt to have all the five staves showing up so keep your message short :)</p>

<p>Start each sentence with a treble-cleft which is the "&amp;" key on your keyboard, it also adds a 4/4 time signature for authenticity. Upper case letters show as double notes, lower case and numbers as single notes. Numbers should be written with a comma "," between them eg:1,2,3 etc 10,11,12 etc 100,101,102. The comma inserts a short length of blank staves.</p>

<p>Now ...... comes the fun ! &nbsp;Count four notes and press the "!" key. This will place a barline vertically across the staves (the five horizontal lines on which the notes are written). Repeat this every 4 notes until you reach the end of the line then press the "." key. You must end with a full 4 note bar even if this leaves a space at the right margin. At the beginning of the next line press the "&amp;" key to insert a new treble-cleft. Count 4 notes then the "!" key etc .... Repeat this process until you reach the end of your message, finish with a "."</p>

<p>Use this type face as a cipher to send secret messages which can be easily read by the recipient if they have this typeface on their computer. To anyone else this will appear to be sheet music.*° It can also be used to convert poems into a musical score, to rewrite the music of simple songs, word for word, or to compose original music. I am sure you will be able to find other uses also. Have fun ;)&nbsp;</p>

<p>*° <em>Actually it won't appear as sheet music as I had hoped because the computer receiving the message will use its default font to print out the message if this font is not installed. That applies to all so called code fonts ... what a shame!</em></p>

Basic notes are lower-case letters, flats/sharps are upper-case.  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=61babc88&id=963167&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/>This is not your normal "ABC" font, because you can find a billion of those and I found it exhaustive to explore. This typeface uses musical symbols and calligraphy to represent our commonly used letters, numbers, and punctuation. I am a graduate student in music, and I used several fine scores as inspiration. There are many rules that I was following, which would be redundantly stated here, so I will only surmise that tender care to the pixel was taken on as many occasions as I could to replicate with precision the various glyphs found here. Some words about the download:
When downloaded, the font works best at 38 point. Also, due to my assigning a glyph to the spacebar, there is a vertical line that always follows the cursor (the measure line). At this time I have not tested as to whether this anomoly prints or not. Finally, there were some unicode mistakes that required me to repeat the ", and there is one glyph that may not register on some computers. Otherwise: Enjoy using a more unusual - musical - typface.
P.S. If you do have questions, I will answer them all. I used strict rules for construction, so I can submit information beyond the precision you would possibly require.
Thanks!

This font and extra_mensural give MOST symbols needed, but for making sloping ligatures that descend one tone I use a different font. Using this font properly takes PRECISION, i.e. working with individual symbols at maximum zoom view in the host programme to get positioning right. To make extended oblique ligatures use ends of the half-symbols given.]]></description>

z, a, q, and 1 are low 'a.' Each is a different duration (eigth, quarter, half, whole). Use shift on those to go up an octave. 
Space is for formatting; one space between notes usually works. 
Brackets are left/right staff ends, and vertical line | is the measure divider. 
The right side of the keyboard is used for flats and sharps. 
Plus and minus are time signatures (still working on those).
Backslash is a repeat sign, and tilde is measure repeat.
` is a treble clef.]]></description>
