Subject: Re: Shape note font failures
2016-10-31 3:20 GMT+01:00 Jim Duke <j...@dukeboys.org>:
I’m typesetting some A Capella music for congregational singing the uses
the
7-note (Aiken) shape note system. I’ve found that based on the system
size
some of the half note heads for RE (d in the example) are
indistinguishable
from quarter notes. Basically the interior of the note head is filling
in.
The following example reproduces the problem:
\version "2.18.2"
\score {
\relative c' {
\aikenHeads
\override NoteHead.
c2 d2 e2 f2 g2 a2 b2 c2
}
\layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 21)
}
}
\score {
\relative c' {
\aikenHeads
c2 d2 e2 f2 g2 a2 b2 c2
}
\layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 22)
}
}
The D in the first system (at staff size 21) has the note head filled in.
The D in the second system (with staff size 22) has the note head hollow
as
it should be.
I’m not sure how to proceed with fixing this. I can artificially enlarge
the note heads; but that is an unsatisfactory fix that I’d like to avoid
if
possible. I’m afraid the real fix would involve a change in the font
definitions. It seems the pen size is a bit too large. Is there a way
short of changing the font definition of controlling that?
No problem here. See attached.
So I can't help.

Sometimes PDF viewers don't display shapes accurately on screen. Jim - have
you tried printing out a problem score, or viewing it much enlarged?
