Looks great! A possibility is to add a compile option using Helmholtz-Ellis arrowed accidentals, which would be better for non-Turkish to approach this music, and also avoid the confusion about the sharp signs in AEU notation. I made a example of that, Hicazkâr Peşrevi by Tanburî Cemil Bey. It depends on Smufl, though. Also, you might include your new makam file in the LilyPond distribution, along with regular.ly, Graham Breed I recall okayed that in the past, but somehow it as not happened so far. Maybe some of the developers here can tune in on that. > However!

But regular.ly works for any ET. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
