As far as I can tell: Yes, you do. For a clean solution you need a new accidental style so it is necessary to adapt the code which handles this (in order to tell Lilypond when to use the new accidentals and when to use the old ones; if I understood it correctly you simply tried to replace the old ones?). This also requires unique identifiers for the new glyphs, and if I am not missing anything there is no way around directly editing the metafont source and recompiling. > > As an alternative, could I make a small donation to get the arrows > within the next few weeks? :) As you probably noticed when reading the emails, Orm Finnendahl and I started working on this but both of us were quite busy in the meantime. Since there were a couple of issues with the design that were not obvious from the outset it has been resting for a while. (It was no problem, for example, to design an arrowed sharp-sign that looks pleasing for itself; but it seems to be a nontrivial task how to make it look good both *between* and *on* the stafflines.) I will contact you off-list so that we can exchange our experiences and our work so far. I think it might be possible to get this working within the next few weeks but I don't promise anything because I can't tell how much time I (and others) will have.
