You can't do it this easily. The font elements within stencils must constructed correctly to correspond with scaling factors: LilyPond sets up the font sizes such that 1.0 unit of distance corresponds with a staff-space. Since this depends on \paper and \layout settings, you have to have a font as returned by (for example) ly:grob-default-font. Typically, this happens from within a grob callback. Grep for ly:font-get-glyph in the scm directory for examples. ly:get-glyph should probably be removed as it presupposes some kind of unspecified encoding. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - han...@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
