Hi all!
I've been working on LilyPond for Google Summer of Code, and I have a few
questions for those of you who use shape-notes in your publications.
In order to better fit a new font standard (SMuFL), I'm planning to remove
the whole noteheads in Emmentaler's shape note categ

Amazing, thanks Lukas!
I'll play around with this later but at first glance it looks like it ought
to be able to do what I'd like.
Regarding your point about key changes within a piece, it's luckily not
really relevant to me since the kind of music that's written using shap
gnature is issued - but

Hi all,
As a newbie to this wonderful software I have a slightly odd request.
I set vocal music using shape notes (\sacredHarpHeads or \aikenHeads). I've
recently discovered the ambitus function, which is really useful.
I wonder, is it possible to add the correct shaped noteheads to the am

Hi -
I'm rewriting pitches.itely, and I've run into a snag. I'm only
marginally familiar with shape notes, and I'd like some help with that

Dear Lilypond users,
Somehow the SacredHarpHeads have gotten very small in 2.8. The regular

course, so one can't simply globally adjust notehead size or one ends up
with big fat "sol" noteheads. Is there a way to get the shaped

So it certainly would be fine to 'have' (just in case) shape notes.
I learned a lot today.

Hi folks,
please excuse the comments I made yesterday about shape notes. I thought it
was another one of these oddities in books like "How to Learn the Guitar in
Six Days without even really learning Notes". I did not know they had
historic significance.

Eh, you don't need threads to use the (temporary) drum notation algorithm (
