Re: Italic numbers for fingerings (feature request)

2017-02-17 Thread Noeck 
Hi Simon,

you can use all the font mechanisms if you don't specify the font via
font-name.

If you use font-name, all the font-shape and font-series things don't
work anymore (which is kind of understandable from the internals but
certainly not expected by most users). But If you add a font in the
paper block, you can use it via font-family and then you have access to
the whole family including -series and -shape:


\version "2.19.50"
\paper {
  #(add-pango-fonts fonts 'ubuntu "Ubuntu"
 (/ (* staff-height pt) 2.5))
}
% now 'ubuntu is a font-family you can use

{
  1-\tweak font-encoding #'latin1 \tweak font-family #'ubuntu
  \tweak font-size 6 \tweak font-shape #'italic -3
}


HTH,
Joram

AFAIK it can be achieved by setting the font-name to "Ubuntu Italics" or
whatever the concrete font name is. So alternative font shapes can be
used by directly calling the font but not through font-series.

Agreed:

As using italics for fingerings is a regular use case (e.g. to
differentiate between editor's and composer's fingerings) I would like
to see native support for italics in fingerings.

So there would have to be a) glyphs for italics numbers in Emmentaler
and b) a way to choose between upright and italics for fingerings.


The default mechanism uses the 'fetaText encoding to get the numbers. If
you

\override Fingering.font-encoding = 'latin1

you should then be able to change the font to any normal text font and turn
on Italics.


I gave it a try, and using

\version "2.19.54"
{
  1-\tweak font-encoding #'latin1 \tweak font-name "Ubuntu" \tweak 
font-size 6 \tweak font-shape #'italic -3

}

I can get the correct font and font size, but not the correct font shape 
(nor series).


Don’t know why…

Best, Simon

Probably, but the feature request would be to have built-in italics with
an italic shape that matches the upright numbers of Emmentaler (well,
any alternative notation font should actually be updated to that as
well, I think).

you

you should then be able to change the font to any normal text font and turn
on Italics. I didn't try this myself, but it works with other kinds of
