<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">First of all, thank you for replying.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">In my question concerning the half-flat, I meant the Arabic half-flat (Arabic quarter-tone flat) that has the same symbol as the one shown in the picture above.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The one that you sent to me is the Turkish half-flat that has a different symbol than this one. Does this (Arabic half-flat) exist now in MEI accidental and can we include it in the key signature? Can verovio also support
the rendering of the half-flat described above?</p>
