Spacing and kerning in metric modulation

What settings control the spacing of the metric modulation?

Also, which Unicode range are these glyphs from? They’re obviously dedicated glyphs, since they look different from quarter and eighth notes in the staff here.

According to the Unicode points used in exported PDF files, the notes are taken from U+ECA0–U+ECB7 (SMuFL range Metronome marks).

Ok, for some reason, the font was not correctly set in Font Styles. That’s fixed… now I just need to figure out how to change the kerning.

@Martin90, how did you identify the Unicode points in the PDF? That would be really handy.

I just copied the characters from the PDF viewer to Vim, my favorite text editor. With key command ga you can get information about the character under the cursor. Probably not the most elegant way but it works quite well for me.

Another way is to use the Windows app Character Map UWP where you can paste a character from the PDF into the search field and get the corresponding hex value:
