David, The latest set of unstable versions has the rest you speak of, called rests.2z. Is that the one you're looking for? http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font#rest-glyphs - Abraham On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 3:45 PM, David Raleigh Arnold-3 [via Lilypond] <[hidden email]> wrote: tisimst <tisimst.lilypond <at> gmail.com> writes: > > All, > > I couldn't wait any longer, so here's a formal announcement about the new > music fonts that I've been working on, by way of example.

It's especially good for complex guitar music, because it takes less vertical space. I call your present quarter a Gutenberg rest because it is a blackletter "R", and used in printing as well as writing because the fonts and the blackletter writing style developed together in Gutenberg's day. Of course the "R" was joined to a straight-sided letter on its left when writing, but the same form was printed next to a straight sided letter without connection. The z-s rest looks like a backwards "z". It was an improvement on the "classical" rest, because it did not cause frequent mistakes.
