Greetings, I have added this to our tracker. http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1389 Hopefully someone (maybe you!) will have some concrete ideas on how to implement this notation model. There's obviously a lot of work to be done on different levels (glyphs, etc.). I may be wrong, but I'm not sure that obtaining a purely interval-based model would be required here; maybe it would be possible, instead, to hack LilyPond's already-existing paradigm and produce a "virtual" pitch-based model, that could be made to take any pitch as a tuning reference; in this way we could use the underlying architecture for key signatures to produce Byzantine scales, for example. Then, of course, a special Engraving context should be created, with the appropriate glyphs and alignment; but I suspect this wouldn't be the hardest part. What we're doing with Turkish classical notation, as Hans mentioned, could be an interesting starting point: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=blob;f=ly/arabic.ly;hb=HEAD Good luck! Valentin. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
