Greetings Lilypond-dev'ers, Here's Adam Good in Brooklyn, NY.
I've shown up on the dev list recently but here's a better introduction. I'm a musician with a passion and fairly decent understanding of Turkish makam and musics of east Europe, the Balkans and beyond. I've spent the past two months working out a very good update to the current makam.ly file with some wonderful help from Hans Aberg, Torsten Haemmerle and notably Graham Breed using his work on regular.ly work. I have, from what I can see, a working replacement for makam.ly in the form of turkish-makam.ly that gives us full transposition possibilities and key signatures for 201 makams, something makam.ly wasn't capable of previously. I would love for turkish-makam.ly to end up in the main Lilypond distribution but I need guidance from someone here to make it happen, like a mentor as mentioned in the contributor guide. Would a developer be willing to help me? In the future I'd like to update arabic.ly to arabic-maqam.ly and would like to contribute something for Persian / Iranian music. Hopefully someone has thoughts. All the best, Adam Good _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
