This range is intended for mixing music symbols with text. Its metrics
and glyph registrations should follow the guidelines for fonts intended
for text-based applications, even in fonts that are themselves primarily
intended for use in scoring applications.

These precomposed notes may be used for displaying metronome marks and
simple metric modulations. More complex metric modulations and
*l’istesso tempo* directions may be drawn using these characters in
conjunction with the **Beamed groups of notes** range.

It is recommended that the default stem length for characters in this
range is reduced by 0.75 spaces from the normal minimum of 3.5 spaces.
This helps to balance the notehead and its stem and flag with the
surrounding text.

By contrast, the characters in the **Individual notes** range are
intended for positioning on a staff, and hence have the default minimum
stem length of 3.5 spaces.
