preliminary proposal: New Unicode characters for Arabic music half-flat and half-sharp

[Johnny Farraj]

Dear unicode list members, 
I wish to get feedback about a new character submission proposal.
Currently the Miscellaneous Symbols table (2600-26FF) includes the following characters:
266D ♭ MUSIC FLAT SIGN266F ♯ MUSIC SHARP SIGN

while the Musical Symbols table (1D100 - 1D1FF) includes the following characters:
1D12A �� MUSICAL SYMBOL DOUBLE SHARP1D12B �� MUSICAL SYMBOL DOUBLE FLAT1D12C �� MUSICAL SYMBOL FLAT UP1D12D �� MUSICAL SYMBOL FLAT DOWN1D130 �� MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP UP
1D131 �� MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP DOWN1D132 �� MUSICAL SYMBOL QUARTER TONE SHARP1D133 �� MUSICAL SYMBOL QUARTER TONE FLAT I am proposing the addition of 2 new characters to the Musical Symbols table:
- the half-flat sign (lower note by a quarter tone) - the half-sharp sign (raise note by a quarter tone)



  These are widely used in Arabic music notation, and they express intervals that are multiples of quarter tones.

I am the primary sponsor of this proposal. As far as my credentials, I am the owner of http://maqamworld.com, the most widely used online resource on Arabic music theory, in English.I can also enlist the support of many academics in the ethnomusicology field, who specialize in Arabic music.
I welcome any feedback on this proposal.
thanks
