SMuFL conversion?

Finale has just moved to SMuFL music font support. My default music font is one created in FontCreator in Sonata format.

Is there an automated method to convert a music font in Sonata format to one in SMuFL format?

Thanks,
Dennis

This has been months without a reply. Does anyone (including the High-Logic folks) know how to do a conversion of an existing music font to SMuFL, even if it leaves out many of the glyphs?

I can create glyphs to fill in the holes as it progresses -- if conversion is possible by High-Logic, including all the SMuFL specs?

Thanks!
Dennis

It is new to me. It looks like all you need to do is add the correct mappings in the Private Use Area to make the font SMuFL compatible. Any glyph can have more than one mapping. Just use the Font Properties dialog/panel to add it.
