Re: [abcusers] Renaissance notes, anyone?

[Christian M. Cepel]

Are shapenotes Renaissance?  I thought they went back to plainchant 
notation.  (this is probably why I only barely passed Music history last 
sem and prolly won't this sem)

Hello,

with very little effort, abcm2ps could typeset scores using
Renaissance-style notes; that is, those fancy square or diamond-shaped
notes. To this end, we'd need two things:
1) disable the proportional spacing of notes. This probably calls for a
new abcm2ps %%command and/or command-line option, which I cannot
implement. I'm sure that Jean-Fran�ois would be kind as usual :-)
2) new note shapes, which I could easily write as new PostScript routines.

As a matter of fact, I don't have much time and I would't start this new
task unless someone's interested. So, my question is: does anybody want
this feature?
Ciao,
