We can of course upload this example to the LilyPond Snippet Repository (LSR) - unless anyone else has any better ideas. As to the special font, of course it won't render on the LSR but I assume this is not a 'custom' font but something someone, who understands Cyrillic would be able to download from 'somewhere' on the internet? Perhaps could just give the link to that? -- -- James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
