Greetings, All! I have worked out a very nice way to switch between notation fonts in LilyPond, both on a global document level and a local usage level. Up until now, there were only a couple of music fonts available that were really usable on a professional level: /Emmentaler/ (the default, built-in font) and /Gonville/. There are also /LilyJAZZ/ and /Bravura/ (a SMuFL-compliant font), but they require some serious hacks to make them work and they have trouble with even some basic notation elements (like tempo markings, arpeggios, etc.).
I am pleased to announce that I have several new music fonts, both in OTF and SVG formats, that I'd like people to be able to use, but this requires a patch to a single file, so anyone wanting to patch the file can do it with little effort. It makes using other fonts as easy as putting a single "\include" statement at the top of a .ly file. I use them all the time, but I really want to share with the community that has shared so much with me. *My question is this: /Is anyone interested in this?/* I know that the notation font is a small part of the way a score looks, but I think we can all recall a time when a score just didn't look that good and it was because of the notation elements, not just the score layout. And, just so you know, I have LilyJAZZ (including all the latest and greatest efforts for chords and a bunch of missing articulations, characters, etc.) and Bravura (my version is called /Profondo/, for OFL licensing reasons) working perfectly as alternate music fonts. In addition, these all provide access to all the ancient notation glyphs as well, so nothing is lost (except for Gonville, which I haven't taken the time to update at all). I eagerly await your responses!
