Subject: Re: Fixes position of mensural c clef (issue 6503091)


I was aware of a slight difference, although actually I'm
not certain it's that important - these are machine drawn
glyphs intending to replicate hand-drawn clefs from the
15th century.  How important is 0.1 staff space?

This is not the point.  Your are changing the shape without documenting
this fact.  And the problem is not 0.1 staff space but loosing the
vertical symmetry for no good reasons.

My point is that there is no vertical symmetry in hand-drawn 15C clefs, so there is no point it trying to recreate it in 21C machine drawn clefs. Whoever created the original clef made it arbitrarily symmetrical, with no justification, so changing this needs no other justification.
