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 ), 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:
