Hey Max, I can't speak to any other language besides English, but for English I might suggest the following (pasted out of one of my earlier mail): %%% ARROWED-ACCIDENTAL SUGGESTION FOR ENGLISH %%% OK, ideally I'd like something like this added to english.ly: cs'16 % normal C-sharp csu'16 % C-sharp with up-arrow csd'16 % C-sharp with down-arrow bf'16 % normal B-flat bfu'16 % B-flat with up-arrow bfd'16 % B-flat with down-arrow and also ... cqs'16 % normal (ie, exact) C-quartersharp cqsu'16 % C-quartersharp with up-arrow cqsd'16 % C-quatersharp with down-arrow etc. That's how I would, ideally, like to access the arrowed accidentals. Would be very slick, indeed. Just a -d (for 'down') or -u (for 'up') appended to the complete set of all existing accidental input names. %%% END %%% Of course, I'm also OK with defining my own commands for getting to the arrowed accidentals, as you and Werner are discussing, so long as there's an example of how to set up the definition. Very cool, btw! Trevor. -- Trevor Bača trevorb...@gmail.com
