Standard Music Font Layout, or SMuFL, is an open standard for music font mapping. [4] The standard [1] was originally developed by Daniel Spreadbury [4] [1] of Steinberg for its scorewriter software Dorico, [4] but is now developed and maintained by the W3C Music Notation Community Group, along with the standard for MusicXML (which, itself, supports SMuFL). [2]
SMuFL is a substantial development beyond the previous de facto mapping standard created by Cleo Huggins in the Sonata font she designed for Adobe in 1985 [4] [5] (which was Adobe's first original typeface [6]).
Numerous scorewriters support SMuFL [7] (as of June 2021 [update], these include Dorico, Finale and MuseScore but not LilyPond or Sibelius) and a number of free and commercial SMuFL-compliant fonts are available. [8]
Bravura, designed by Daniel Spreadbury of Steinberg for Dorico and initially released in 2013, is the SMuFL reference font. [8] [9] [10]
SMuFL support was added to the leading scorewriters in the following versions:
