The Leland music fonts (Leland and Leland Text) were initially developed for the MuseScore music composition software.
Leland is compliant with Standard Music Font Layout (SMuFL), which provides a standard way of mapping the thousands of musical symbols required by conventional music notation into the Private Use Area in Unicode's Basic Multilingual Plane for a single (format-independent) font.
The font is named after Leland Smith, creator of the SCORE music notation software.
