Hello, I'm excited to see people working on arrowed accidentals. I could really use this feature. I tried editing the feta mf sources, but I can't seem to get the modified fonts to load into lilypond (2.11.20). i.e. I've edited "feta11.mf", saved as feta11.svg and replaced the default one in the lilypond installation, but a lilypond score with #(set-global-staff-size 11.22) doesn't display the alteration. I don't have to recompile everything, do I?
As an alternative, could I make a small donation to get the arrows within the next few weeks? :) Many thanks, Chris On 04/02/07, Trevor Bača <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

One way of using the arrowed glyps is as you describe with enharmonic equivalence. Another way (and the one that I see more often ... but this may just be a side-effect of the particular scores I'm looking at) is that any up-arrowed glyph simply means "ever so slightly sharp of whatever accidental I'm attached to" and the "ever so slightly flat" for any down-arrowed glyph. This allows for, for example, the following downward sequence of distinct pitches: * C natural * C down-arrowed natural (just barely flat of C natural, but not as flat as C quartertone flat) * C up-arrowed quarterflat (just barely sharp of C quarterflat) * C quarterflat (precisely one quartertone flat of C natural) * C down-arrowed quarterflat (just barely flat of C quarterflat) * etc ... -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
