Hello- I've been working on and off over the last couple years at getting Lilypond to typeset twinline notation (among others) for the music notation project. Kevin Dalley's abandoned patches thankfully did most of the heavy lifting, but the noteheads he used were never posted. I believe I now know enough Metafont to have a fighting chance of add the noteheads we need.
What steps do I need to take to add and enable new noteheads in lilypond? 1. Edit feta-bolletjes.mf (now something like feta-noteheads.mf) 2. Manually trigger the fonts to be rebuilt (how?) 3. Install the fonts (where?) 4. Anything else? My branch is based on 2.11.45 with Kevin Dalley's patches. It's up on github: The lily file that defines a handful of chromatic notations: http://github.com/drewm1980/lilypond-an/blob/mark_hanlon/input/musicnotation/chromatic.ly The most interesting line being: (cons "twinline" (vector '(2 4) '(0) 0 1 6 twinline-layout #(default do default downdo default do default downdo default do default downdo))) ... it is the downdo noteheads that are missing. The metafont file that defines noteheads: http://github.com/drewm1980/lilypond-an/blob/mark_hanlon/mf/feta-bolletjes.mf A sample code snippet that would hopefully display a scale in twinline notation: http://github.com/drewm1980/lilypond-an/blob/mark_hanlon/input/musicnotation/fontcheck/fontcheck.ly To get started I tried duplicating and renaming one of the existing noteheads to "downdo", but it wasn't visible after a rebuild after liliypond. Thanks! Drew _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
