Sorry, no scanner available except by hire, which I cant afford just now; I have perused the few I have on hand, but all from one source which doesnt have any notes as long as a breve. looking to buy a scanner. I do have semeral facsimile editions out in the car, and will peruse them later today, if I see something I can at least cite the occurance (and note it for myself for when I make that font). Ample fascimiles in the library, for those who will take the trouble to go and look - _New Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians_, 'Notation', 'Sources-Lute', 'Tablature'. Many facsimle editions of historical lute tablature have been published, Broude Brothers is but one modern publisher. Its not difficult to design suitable glyphs for tablature half-notes - take a headless stem, center a small circle on it and you have one form; take a headless stem and add a tail which goes left for the other; pick one of these to serve for half-notes et voila. Nothing serves for whole notes save avoidance. -- Dana Emery _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
