Joram, I can answer for Urs. I started another topic to the Dev list a few months ago asking for some help with customizing the default music font <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Question-about-customizing-emmentaler-font-td161702.html> . Towards the end of that series of messages, I passed some of my files to Urs because he wanted to test them out for himself. That's how the Haydn score with the different fonts came to be. The Cadence font was the first result of that effort. I felt like some features were not quite right with Emmentaler, so I made some adjustments in FontForge, did a bunch of research to figure out everything that goes into a compatible font, then got that working. I then had a hayday with getting other music fonts to work (LilyJAZZ, Profondo, etc.). At that point, I realized that there is no way that a single music font will please EVERYBODY, so making more available would be a good thing! As a result of this whole process, developing a font creation/build process, making custom fonts doesn't take me that much effort (i.e., if someone wants to compile the glyphs they like using FontForge and send them to me, I'd happily create a LilyPond compatible font for them :) I'm not sure if all the hyperlinks to files still work in the above thread (sorry, you'll have to go through quite a few messages to find them), but anyone is welcome to try them out! On the other hand, some of the fonts have matured a bit since then (like making SVG versions, adding glyphs, adjusting positions, etc.), so it may be preferable to wait for the time being until we get a solid set of files to distribute just to make sure the frustration is kept to a minimum and the enjoyment is maximized!
