In Emacs, move the cursor to the interesting character, then press C-u C-x = to see the current character's information. For example, I get the font -Free-Musica-normal-normal-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 for character U+1D132 (since I haven't a special font setup for Emacs, it takes a loong time on my GNU/Linux box until this glyph gets displayed – this is probably a bug in the Emacs version I use). If I now say fc-list -v | less I can search for `Musica', and I get font `/usr/share/fonts/truetype/Musica.ttf' as the result. Another solution to search for fonts that contain musical glyphs in the U+1D1xx range is to say fc-list -v | grep -50 01d1: | less If you see many `f's in the `01d1:' line chances are high that musical glyphs are covered. Such fonts could then be set up in Emacs for covering the Unicode block. On my box I additionally get `Symbola', `Noto Sans Symbols', and `Ostrich Sans Bold' (the last one is a fake, containing empty glyphs instead).
