Laban glyphs #191

Dear all, It would be very useful if the LabaNotation symbols that are available in Wikipedia.commons could also become part of Smufl. This could facilitate music conductor learning consistent movements (e.g. using the approach led by James Jordan called Laban Movement Score Analysis) but as well enable choreography and music to be jointly formalized.

There is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labanotation, but it does not enumerate the symbols you listed.

They have been uploaded by Dr. Jeffrey Scott https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jeffrey_Scott_Longstaff and can be seen by looking at the following link https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles/Jeffrey_Scott_Longstaff Dr. Jeffrey Scott did his PhD at the Laban institute and is highly qualified, as you can see from his curriculum.

One can see them for example in the Encyclopedia Britannica at the following reference. Guest, Ann Hutchinson. "Labanotation". Encyclopedia Britannica, 27 Sep. 2013, https://www.britannica.com/art/labanotation. Accessed 26 May 2021.

@lucatoldo or @luto65, are you able to provide a comprehensive list of the symbols and their names? Without their names we can't add them to SMuFL.
