Group crit for 5 typeface ideas

My 5 ideas in response to the word 'suspended' for my typeface is :

The rule of moving up a part of the letterform in order to adhere to the word 'hung' that has been derived from my word.
suspending dramatically a part of the letterform
Having a point in which the letterforms join from, in order to maintain the 'hung' concept
Using a simple grid in order to create letterforms in which have 'sunken' parts
Taking the shapes of musical notation to reflect the concept of 'suspension in time' 

From my initial sketches, it was evident that my most effective concept was the musical notes idea.
to develop the idea it was suggested that I :

research the concept of phonetics  - trying to incorporate the length of letters 
looking at the more simplistic shapes of notes like circles 
maybe stretching out if the letter is is longer  
using Bodoni as the starting typeface because of the different thicknesses and heights in the letterforms
