NOTATIO

a brief update after some more testing, in case someone is interested: ligatures work like a charm on a MacBook Pro / El Capitan / LO 5.1.4.2 No way under Win 10 / LO 5.1.4 (latest version downloaded), BUT... it works in notepad!... I'm surprised you tisimst use them with LO/Win8 .. maybe is related...

well... after a fresh install on a Mac Book, LO correctly translates the 'b13' ligature... then the font file is ok

well... then... I'd exclude any font issue at the moment

I'll investigate on my LO, (sigh.. I'll try MS Word too.. )
thanks for helping!

maybe it's the windows version of LO... I'll try again on OSX ASAP ... (no Linux box available at the moment)

ok, the OSC file has been installed, but the ligature in LO still seems not working...
maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I expected that the 'b13' glyph appeared after pressing 'b','1','3' ...
Maybe is my LO config to be investigated now?

the backward shift is made on purpose. In the font the only char that have a fixed width are the frets and some space chars. All the symbols have 0 length and are shifted on the left so that you can overlap one on another, on the same preceding fret. This way you can e.g. write a crossed note name i...

no problem, just wanted to be sure... take your time
I'm still experimenting with other glyphs...

did you receive the PMs?
I see them in my "Outbox" directory, and not in the "Sent messages"... so I don't know if the're been set or not

Just retried.
In case it doesn't work again, PM me an email address where I can send the files...

thanks!
I PMed you right now.
