Yes, but nobody agrees on what that intermediate pitch *is* do they? And Arab pop music really does use equally tempered synthesizers however much the purists may object. > There are two problems: does the E24 setting in transposing (or choosing a > key) risk say E- (half-flat) be confused with D#+ (sharp and half-flat). - > This I do not know, because it depends on how LilyPond computes it. Let's assume it works fine because otherwise standard notation would break as well. Now, my question is, why is that clever workaround for the Arabic half-flat symbol in there when it could be replaced globally? The documentation doesn't give any case where you'd want to use the Tartini half-flat. In my impetuosity I've created a new init file with code modeled on makam.ly, and attached it to this message.
