Dear all: I am in need of ornament fonts. The ornaments in the baroque were nationally quite different, e.g., England had special fonts for their shake.
Many trills have complementaries at their end (a downturn, in German ``Nachschlag''). The French, e.g. Couperin, indicated them by placing a turn over the trill. Since the classical time it is usually written out. In the German baroque, most notably Bach, it is noted by placing the mordent dash at the end of the trill and it was possible to combine that dash with the trills having downturns at the beginning indicated by a hook ( which Bach called Doppel-cadence ). The musixtex package does not provide for these very frequent ornaments. Werner Icking substituted the long mordent (\Mordent) in contrapunctus 8 of the Kunst der Fuge because it looked somewhat similar. I am working on improving and extending my Organ version as well as Werner Icking's Urtext and string editions and the introduction of a wrong ornament bothers me very much because the execution of both ornaments is totally different. Is there a possibility to get the correct ornament, either by getting the font from another program, by a TeX macro superimposing the stroke or by a font produced by metafont?
