Re: Problem with a font

Hi Walter, Are you required by your customer or client to use this exact font? There are so many things wrong with it typographically it's hard to know where to start. If you need a childlike cursive script, font, there are thousands available that are built professionally with proper fonr

Re: Corrected: Beaming in LilyPond

Hi Simon and Filip, The Bach MS in question is a handwritten autograph - not an engraving. As I mentioned, engraving and handwriting are two quite different media. I think it's a category error to conflate the two. This topic interests me because I work with a New Complexity School composer who

Dear Malte, I see another option: 4. Add this ornament to Feta. SMuFL is a good argument for that, if we want to support it some day. Would you, Lukas, be willing to wait for 2.21.0 and use that or compile your own LilyPond? Then I’d try to add such a glyph to Feta in the next few weeks.

Thanks a lot Torsten. I got such great responses, that I think it is worth it to finish this thread with a short summary. The problem arose with a font which can be downloaded from here: http://www.edu.xunta.gal/centros/ceipfrions/system/files/u1/Escolar_2_Negra.zip This is a handwriting font.

Re: \rounded-box vs. \box in text markup

Hi Emilio, The strange vertical spacing is a bug... As Harm found out, it's related to a skyline problem: accidentally, there is an extra margin around rounded boxes causing the wider spacing that shouldn't be there. I'm currently dealing with it, so this bug will be fixed in a future release.
