Hello Jeremy (sounds like I'm talking to myself, doesn't it?), JB> I would like to print out sheet music in Meloz music notation. JB> [...] How do I make new note head shapes in Lilypond? Can Lilypond JB> output the staff in a different format, like the one below.
I really don't have any idea if doing an exact replica of that system is easily doable (though everything is possible to a certain extent, if you're ready to get your hands in the code). Just note that: * the shape of note heads can easily be altered using the `style' property of the NoteHead object, as shown at: http://lilypond.org/stable/input/regression/out-www/lily-842380820.ly * changing the number of lines a Staff has is very easy; the StaffSymbol has a `line-count' property, by default set to 5. It is modified either using and \outputproperty: \outputproperty #(make-type-checker 'staff-symbol-interface) #'line-count = #7 Or by placing a translator in the paper block: \translator { \StaffContext \consists Staff_symbol_engraver StaffSymbol \override #'line-count = #7 } I have absolutely no idea how to define individual thickness of the Staff lines, though.
