Hi everybody, Back to the topic of adding support for East Slavic (aka Kievan) music notation.
I've rewritten our font for Kievan notation (called Suprasl) in Metafont. Now, I am trying to figure out how to incorporate the new glyphs into the Feta files. I've created a new file, feta-kievan.mf in the mf directory. Now I'd like to make sure I'm doing this right before I proceed .. this is the first time I've worked with Metafont, so please bear with me. In our file (suprasl.mf), the glyphs are defined with beginchar(name, width, height, depth). Next, I define a series of points in terms of the quantity u, which is derived from a sharped quantity u#. Basically, u# tells us what the size of the character should be given the font's design size. Finally, I draw the character with fill. The question I have is this: what is the appropriate coordinate system to use for feta-kievan? What I've gleaned from reading the source of feta-notehead.mf is that things are somehow defined in terms of stafflinethickness# and staff_space. Am I right to understand that stafflinethickness is the thickness of a line in the five line staff? And staff_space is the amount of space between lines? Would it be appropriate to define a basis unit u in terms of stafflinethickness and then specify the points in terms of u? Where is the origin? Thanks for the assistance, Aleks ------------------------ Aleksandr Andreev Ponomar Project _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
