Note: Two types of symbols are not treated in depth in these fonts: Medieval neumes
and ligatures, and percussion pictographs. I felt these two presented issues which
could not be treated properly here, and have relegated these symbols to future projects.
Also, fonts already exist that cover these items to a certain extent.
