Currently I am working with a FontForge script to convert LilyPond music
fonts to SMuFL. While I am writing the script, I find that when I opens
a LilyPond font, FontForge will pop up a dialog showing warnings:
The following table(s) in the font have been ignored by FontForge
Ignoring 'LILC'
Ignoring 'LILF'
Ignoring 'LILY'
Also, when I tried to modify LilyPond music fonts provided by the
OpenLilypondFonts projects in GitHub using FontForge, save them, and
invoke the modified font in my LilyPond score, I found that many
characters, such as noteheads are misplaced. So it seems like that the
so said LILC, LILF and LILY table contains crucial metadata for a
LilyPond music font to function normally. So my questions are as follows:
* What are the three tables described above? What information do they
contain?
* Is there a font editor that can edit these tables? If not, how does
it come that music fonts in OpenLilyPondFonts have these tables?
Best regards,
F.X.P.
