Hi, I'd like an account in the lilypond issue tracker.
I'm thinking about someday contributing to lilypond in the area of harp related notation. I'd probably start with the fingering notation. FYI. I don't know much music or much harp. Or much lilypond. Harp fingering notation seems to be like \startGroup ... \stopGroup, or, after \set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'bracket \sustainOn ... \sustainOff. Except that the line can be slanted. And in some styles the finger numbers are written so their midpoint falls on the line and the line is broken. There seems to be 2 more variations, one where the line segments on the ends remain at right angles to the overall line, and are therefore slanted. And another style where the line segments at the end are vertical, independent of the slope of the overall line. Fingering runs from 1 to 4 with 1 being the thumb. See also: http://www.harpspectrum.org/harpworks/composing_for_harp/images/sacred_harp_notation.gif from http://www.harpspectrum.org/harpworks/composing_for_harp/composing_for_harp.shtml for "lots 'o harp notation", most of which seems to be missing from lilypond. In the latter link you can find an example of finger placement notation in "Writing for the Harp", section 1, "Notation". I've no idea if I'll every get around to contributing but am reading through the developer docs and it can't hurt to get setup for it. FWIW I've done FOSS development work with FOSS tools.
