Sorry about the Green Linnet suggestion.
If Brendan's tunings are of burning interest and you're not inclined to figure them out, why not ask him? He doesn't have email, but you could write to him at

======Once again, I'd like to thank Jack Ely for being Jack. Much to my surprise, he downloaded my announcement about the harp font, and got it published in AHN. People were contacting me from this before I even knew it had happened.
======I'm busy finetuning the appearance of the font. Key placement is pretty much decided, although I find that some software arbitrarily eliminates certain keys - for instance, Finale (a music processor) refuses to recognize the dash key or SHIFT 6. So I'm working out alt-numpad alternates. I'm also deciding on an extended character set for ornaments (which have to work with the tablature symbols, not with regular notation).
And yes, I'm leaning toward a pared-down trial version, probably Holes 1 through 6, blow and draw only (i.e no bends, overblows or ornaments).
