Character glyph could be raised above the baseline using a seperate coding
point for the musical semantic of a mensural symbol - trick then would be
to get ly to use that instead of the other.  Leave the numerals alone for
use as numerals (ms # and what have you), but clone the glyph
(Fontographer had a way to copy the glyph leaving it dynamically linked).
