Implementation notes
There is little agreement over the meaning, or indeed the naming, of ornaments
beyond those that have survived into modern usage. The glyphs included in this range
are the shapes that are used by a wide variety of composers, particularly in the
baroque period. For information about the uses and interpretations of individual
symbols in this range, consult Neumann (ibid.).
