User fonts not recognised on OS X

While experimenting with fancy fonts for headings and initials, I found that Lilypond (2.14.1) was not aware of the fonts in my user library (Mac OS X 10.6.8). It seems to be a simple omission from fonts.conf, which has entries for the shared library fonts (/Library/Fonts) and the system fonts

Suggestions for a Contemporary Music Font

I'm thinking of creating a font for contemporary music with the most commonly used symbols. I miss a lot of specific symbols and I'm sure a lot of LilyPond users do too. I know that there are some sources for this purpose, and find them very useful. But most are bloated with not very useful symbol

Hi Peter, Don't know what's causing the issue here, but I believe this version of your snippet does what you want: \version "2.14.1" global = { \key c \major \time 2/4 } sopranoNotes = \relative c'' { << { \voiceTwo \times 2/3 { a4 a a } } \new Voice = "sopranoOneVoice" { \voiceOne
