James:

I have read this before.   I was thinking that if I place the ​accidentals
in SMuFL local font file I could call them from there using the example
form the article.    At this point I only have some ideas about the way the
accidentals should look. I need to know how Lilypond handles microtonal
fonts from SMuFL   I need to  use one or more accidentals per note.  Some
of the accidentals in SMuFL are intended to be used this way; but I do not
know if Lilypond will do this.  I need to try some things with this.
  SMuFL give the specifications for designing fonts; which does not look
that hard once I learn how to run the graphics program.

Thank you,
ƒg
