>Actually, adding different flags in lilypond is quite simple: great, actually i've been wanting to ask this for a long time, but not related to old notation styles but rather to more "contemporary" practices. it has been quite common for the last 50+ years to use straight flags. see the attached image from stockhausen's zeitmasze (1956). note also that the straight flag also applies to the acciaccatura. >Now, to implement straight flags, all one has to do is to create >glyphs named flags.straightu3, flags.straightd3, etc.! i guess i have to apply your patch (and werner's) to the sources and recompile lilypond, right? is it OK to patch against 2.11.49 sources? another question: i find your flags a bit small (and too slanted) compared to the example from stockie's score (see attached image). how can i modify the file to get what i want? i guess the relevant lines are: +straight_flag_angle = -37; +straight_upflag_length# = .65 black_notehead_width# + stemthickness# / 2; +straight_downflag_length# = .833 black_notehead_width# + stemthickness# / 2; +straight_flag_thickness# = 0.5 staff_space#; how do you proceed? by trial and error, modifying those values, compiling and looking at the results? please excuse my ignorance, but i know nothing about programming. thanks for your attention, lj
