A series of palette buttons to support microtone accidentals is one way to go - there is a Gregorian Chant palette that works that way, though in that case the scripts are more complicated because several notes are involved for each button to create the Gregorian groupings. > > > > > tried several things to cause it not to work. > > > > > > The note past to Lilypond may have 4 parts/variables: note name, > > > accidental, octave, duration.

No, Denemo does not pass Scheme code to LilyPond, because LilyPond requires a file containing LilyPond's syntax. > > > Python handles this? > > > > Python is not used in LilyPond itself, only some converter programs > > like midi2ly and so on.

Denemo writes out a file and then starts the LilyPond program passing it the filename, LilyPond then generates a PDF file which Denemo then displays. > The font question was baste on the assumption the that Denemo only > has a sub set of subset font. So I was trying to find out what > could be added to Denemo The only thing you have to add to Denemo is the LilyPond syntax that you want Denemo to pass to LilyPond. But in addition it is nice to tell Denemo what to display to you when you have attached a "k" to a note, so as to make it easy to decipher the Denemo Display and be sure you attached the right thing. So that comes back once more to the question - can LilyPond create the typeset you want? If it can and you know what syntax LilyPond wants then I can help you make Denemo pass that syntax to LilyPond. > and though you would know were the accidentals were in Lilypond > because you had to get your matching code some were (the names of the > accidentals that you use like "k"). drawing the glyph in the Denemo Display is optional - you could just put the letter "k" next to the note, and you would know that you had attached a "k" as the accidental. It would not be so nice to look at but the typesetting would still be fine. > > BTW I have been looking at the cade that you sent for makam.ly. > Was it written by Lilypond (.ly)?

It is calling a sequence of procedures that Denemo provides - the ones named x-XXXXX. If you put that script into a palette button and click on the button it will be executed and the result is that a Denemo Directive will be attached to the note at the cursor. If you move the cursor to a new note and click again an identical Denemo Directive will be attached to that note. The Denemo Display and the LilyPond typesetting will change to match. > What program language is it? or do you mean the code that is in the file "makam.ly"?
