Hi all,
although I suspect this could once more become a longish and scattered
thread, I feel forced to bring it up here.

What do you think: would it make sense to open up LilyPond thinking to
the idea of SMuFL brought up by Steinberg and Daniel Spreadbury?

Of course currently it's only their new Bravura font that complies to
that proposed standard.
But I can imagine there will be more 'participators' in mid-term future.
Making Emmentaler/Feta SMuFL-compliant could have several advantages IMHO:
- Open up the possibility (or at least make a step in that direction)
to use alternative fonts for LilyPond engraved scores.
Once LilyPond could use SMuFL compliant fonts it would be easy
to use any new font that adheres to the standard
- Increasing LilyPond's 'cooperativeness'
(a technical aspect as well as a 'social' signal)
+1
If we were able to increase lilyponds "cooperativeness", it would help
lilypond.
I don't know, what it would take to make Emmentaler/Feta SMuFL
compliant, but I would appreciate such a step. It might help steinberg
and Daniel Spreadbury promote this new standard - IMHO this is a good
thing - it is an open standard and lilypond might use any SMuFL
compliant font.
And that we don't forget it ;) musicXML export would also open lilypond
for other uses.
