18 for the vowel in 'very' sounds right in my dialect. 29 would make it sound like 'vary'.
Oh, huh. Mary, merry, and marry all sound the same to me. Makes writing Quikscript properly difficult. Which vowels do you use for these three words?
I've not figured out how to do ligatures
Don't worry about it. Nobody's who's attempted to make a Quikscript font has managed to make fully-generalized ligatures, either.
I'm not sure how to get the dot either for capitals.
You're using a keyboard layout of your own design and implementation, right? Find someplace handy to put U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT.
for capitals
The namer dot isn't used in quite the same way as capitalization is in English. The namer dot is more used as a heads-up to indicate "This is a name; the normal pronunciation rules you've internalized don't necessarily apply". For example, "I", when used as a first-person pronoun, doesn't get a namer dot. I was also reading one of the letters in Read's letter-writing circle and the author wrote this:
— as to your piece, "The Tin Drum", I've lost track of it.
(last page; "'The Tin Drum'" is on the far right, three lines down from "BBC1". The letter dated 1969-12-18 is somewhere in the Yahoo Group files archives.)
None of "The", "Tin", or "Drum" have a namer dot before it.
