An example of when this is needed is when sheet music is being written for many instruments (as is used by conductors) some of which are oriental instruments and some western instruments but all can play quarter tones.\r\n\r\n-- UPDATE --\r\n\r\nAs shown below, vexflow already supports the Western quarter tone accidentals. There is need for support of Iranian accidentals though."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/0xfe/vexflow/issues/comments/195113350","html_url":"https://github.com/0xfe/vexflow/issues/318#issuecomment-195113350","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/0xfe/vexflow/issues/318","id":195113350,"user":{"login":"infojunkie","id":92977,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/92977?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie","html_url":"https://github.com/infojunkie","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/infojunkie/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-11T00:21:00Z","updated_at":"2016-03-11T00:21:00Z","body":"SMuFL is definitely a great choice.
