The script really looks beautiful. I wrote a short text to check it out, but 
currently my scanner is broken ("Document feeder jammed"!?), so I can't upload it.
I have discovered one problem with your orthography: Without a mechanism to 
identify stress, it's impossible to write spaceless style with it :(
Also there is no dot style for "in between", as it would happen in dotside-like 
names {la.timos. for example}.
Another thing is that I'm not really sure, if it's really a good idea to have 
"s" be just a dash, even though it really does make sense in that quadrangle 
concept thingie.

It might be possible to use a small (or big) flick below the letters to mark 
stressed syllables, but i'm not sure how to remedy the S thing.

Looking forward to an even better version :)

PS: It really was jammed... By the switch with the "lock" icon on the bottom 
side of the scanner. What a bebna I am! Here's the scan :)
