In that case, how many *glyphs* are we talking about for the 8th note? I had
thought there would have to be four because of the differences in both stems
and noteheads. No?
I know I'm probably conflating "glyph" with "grob" here, but maybe you can
explain the difference.
All note stems are a single grob, even though there's different glyphs for,
say, a standard stem and a mensural stem, right?
The quarter-notes also have slightly different stems and noteheads, and the
stems and noteheads meet at different places. So how many glyphs for the
quarter note?
This information will help me look for sponsors.
