Subject: change temporarily to custom clef


Hi,

in contemporary music sometimes unusual "Clefs" are temporarily used
within a piece (for example for string instruments clefs where notes
indicate the contact point of the bow between fingerboard and bridge).

I guess for designing custom clefs one has to define a custom font but
I wonder whther there is another less complicated way by making a clef
temporarily transparent and putting some Postscript Markup in its place.


You can use Inkscape or whatever to design a single glyph -- no need to worry about a whole font. Inkscape has an option to save as .ps, which can then be imported into Lilypond.

There was a thread a while ago about getting the old style bass clef, dealing all the postscript jazz.
