Hello,
I've been searching for a way to represent what looks like an
upside down breve, and also what looks like a breve spaced as low
as an underscore.
Anyway, I have music I want to notate, in Italian and Spanish, that
uses these characters (the first for Italian, the second for
Spanish). They use them to show that two different words, or
syllables from words, are to be associated with the same note
(basically, you just sing them both quickly). I've been using a
miniature circumflex for this, and sometimes a breve, but I want to
use the actually characters. Is there a way to add these in
Lilypond? I ask because I haven't found such characters in the
unicode character set. Is there a font I can use that has them?
This is what a breve looks like: ˘
Here's the circumflex character I've been using: ˆ (it's smaller
than ^)
I would like a breve spaced as low, or lower, than an underscore
(i.e. _), and preferably one that looks like it's trying to connect
the two sounds.
Unicode 203F and 2040, Undertie and Overtie, look to me like the
characters in question. On Mac OS X, Lucida Grande has them. I don't
know what other fonts they might be in, and I haven't tried to use
the characters in lyrics yet.
