Hi Urs,
I would like to set the glyph set as per Abraham Lee's foundry website:

Much rather this than a piece of music. Any sample of music will be
irrelevant to some large subset of people. For example, my new
complexity
stuff would just annoy people, and I don't want to see a sample of
Brahms
(no disrespect to Brahms!!).
Perhaps you could put music examples on a separate website, not in the
program.

I'm looking for a nice template document that can be used to

a music font. It should not be too "heavy", and ideally it would show
off the font at a glance within the space seen in the attached
screenshot.
Another idea: make it customizable. I doubt there is ever going to be
a one-size-fits-all preview template for fonts. Of course, it's more
work to support this, but providing you are shelling out to LilyPond
behind the scenes to render the preview live, then allowing the
end-user to provide a custom template would address concerns from
folks who work in more esoteric branches of notation.
Although compelling I think this would be over the top.
a) if someone wants to see music fonts with specific music they can
simply use an existing or create a new document and test the fonts with it.
b) These sample documents will usually not be generated live but are
cached, so in 95% of the cases (except the first time a new font is
installed) an existing PDF will be loaded.
So I think I'll go with the suggestion to create some sort of "glyph
matrix", showing the font elements without context.
I think the updated dialog will be used much more regularly than the
previous one, not only because the available (music but especially text)
fonts are now nicely listed and displayed, but also because it will
additionally provide the tools to *select* fonts (i.e. create the
appropriate LilyPond code).
