Implementation notes

Precomposed notes in this range may be used for placing notes on a staff. In fonts intended for text-based applications, these characters may be set up as ligatures with the control characters in the Combining staff positions range to allow them to be moved up and down to different positions on a staff (e.g. using characters from the Staves range). However, scoring applications should draw all notes by combining notehead glyphs — e.g. noteheadBlack for quarter notes (crotchets) and shorter notes, noteheadHalf for half notes (minims) — with stems drawn using primitives. It is recommended that the characters in this range should have full-length stems, i.e. a minimum length of 3.5 spaces. Characters suitable for mixing with characters from a regular text font, e.g. as part of a metronome mark, tempo equations, l’istesso tempo marking, etc., are found in the Metronome marks range (where it is recommended that stems should be shortened to provide a more pleasing balance between the note and the surrounding text characters).

Should you bottom out keys when typing?

Quality switches typically actuate before they are fully depressed, and bottoming out becomes unnecessary, and is considered by some to slow down the typist: they may release a key once it actuates, but before it bottoms out. With some switches, bottoming out brings the slider to a hard stop, jolting one's finger.

This article is a stub. You can help Deskthority by expanding it.

To bottom out a keyswitch means to fully depress it. Membrane rubber dome switches require the switch to be bottomed out to actuate, as this is the point when the membrane layers are pressed together. Quality switches typically actuate before they are fully depressed, and bottoming out becomes unnecessary, and is considered by some to slow down the typist: they may release a key once it actuates, but before it bottoms out. With some switches, bottoming out brings the slider to a hard stop, jolting one's finger. Aftermarket soft-landing pads can be fitted to the keyboard to soften the impact of bottoming out. Alternatively, switches with a high final force (e.g. Cherry MX Clear) can reduce or prevent bottoming out. While this would seem to be a comparatively modern term, it was used as far back as 1978, being found in the MEI Sabrecoil patent.
