Hi Kieren, oh my! Guess what? I'm running 2.19.83 now! Thank you so much! And: Ligatures working like they should! The question on how to install an unstable version was offtopic - and yet, it totally solved my problem with ligatures. Thank you so much for your help! I now can start on creating

Hi Aaron, thanks. No problem, nothing bad happened so far. Didn't know about lilybin - that's interesting news to me! First time I'm ever seeing some ligatures in a font is running: \version "2.19.2" \markup \roman "fi" with the unstable version 2.19.48 on lilybin.com It would be nice to have

Hi Tyler, it was from apt package. Which version would you recommend? I need to re-install anyway. I'm on Debian Linux, but I'm not a very skilled user. Normally I install everything with apt-get install - only when I really have to, I do (or try) otherwise. Marco *** www.marcobaumgartner.com

Thanks Aaron for your help! \version "2.18.2" % tested on lilybin.org \markup \roman "fi" That's what I'm going to test next. Unfortunately, I'm facing some installation issues. I somehow messed up the original package, while trying to install a newer unstable version. Now I can't

Re: Jazz Chord Symbols (as new font - NOT notation font)

Thanks, Aaron. I really feel like creating a whole new font. The problem I'm facing right now is: I can use my self-made otf fonts as markup. If I use the same font as ChordNames, it seems like ChordNames is dictating what's a valid entry and what isn't. That's the minor issue (I still think,

Thanks. I just figured out how to use my own otf font. You're saying, that once I have my font finished, I can use it as \markup OR as ChordName? But wouldn't ChordName mess with my font then? Like forcing its own spacing and such? Or lies that within the used font in ChordName? So, if I use my

Jazz Chord Symbols (as new font - NOT notation font)

Hi, I wonder how I had to build a "normal" font (otf, ttf, whatever) to work as chord-symbols-font only. Spacing and style is very important to make chord symbols readable. I haven't seen one yet for lilypond. Goal is to have a font rendering chord symbols like in the real books (handwritten or

Re: Jazz Chord Symbols

I second that - for Jazz use, the cord symbols are sometimes, well, not optimal. Given that chord symbols are not/hardly used in classics, it would be a good idea to adjust them more to the requirements of pop music in general. However, those requirements are far from being homogenous. Already
