If you cast this clef from iron and put it on a flat surface, it will fall over to the right. The low bowl is now moved to the left into a position of imbalance. The spine is more or less only straightened in its lower part. I have the feeling that the bottom of the bowl should be a bit more to the right, maybe it needs to be narrower. Possibly straightening the spine should not be mostly done at the bottom, but a bit more symmetrically. If spine and bowl are connected by a hinge at the top of the clef, the overall construct should be more or less in (visual) equilibrium, with neither the spine part nor the suspended bowl part falling to the left or right. In other words: I have the feeling that the current changes are about balancing the total of two imbalanced parts, where the parts themselves may need a bit of care. I am no font designer, so please don't take this as any qualified analysis. If it inspires you to try something for which you like the overall result better, that's fine. If not, that's fine too. It's just a bit of brainstorming, not more. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
