You're right, these shouldn't be hard to create in Metafont. But "not hard" is quite relative in that domain ;-) (I have once started fiddling around with existing glyphs, so I know *I* wouldn't be able to add new glyphs). But I think I would prefer a "drawn" solution where you can a) configure the appearance of the brackets (thickness, length of both lines, maybe make it dashed) b) choose arbitrary letters. I know that in some English scores M and S are used (for Main and Secondary), and I think once such a tool exists people might want other letters as well. > > And maybe Haupt-/Nebenstimme commands could use the analysis brackets > David mentioned. > > Perhaps this addition would encourage people to add these glyphs to > other LilyPond fonts ;) You're right, but actually I think this should also conceptually be done on a drawing level.
