Hi,

how many glyphs are you planning to add? If your project is going to become a font with many dozens of glyphs over time, you could add new .mf files, just as the parmesan font does for ancient notation. If you grep for the string "parmesan" on all files in the mf directory, you will see which files you have to add/modify in order to add a completely new font.

For note head selection from evaluating the style property, you have to extend function note-head::calc-glyph-name in file scm/output-lib.scm properly. Similarly, for clefs, you have to extend scm/parser-clef.scm. Selection of glyphs of other grob types (e.g. accidentals) is currently still done directly in the c++ code (e.g. lily/accidental.cc); though, on the long term, this code should probably also be replaced by scheme code.

Greetings,
Juergen

hi all,

please excuse my lousy english.

i would like to design a handwritten music font for lilypond based on "the art of music copying" by clinton roemer.

would a modyfied feta-bolletjes.mf make sense to you to have a look at it?

regards,
johnny
