I'm typesetting some A Capella music for congregational singing the uses the
7-note (Aiken) shape note system. I've found that based on the system size
some of the half note heads for RE (d in the example) are indistinguishable
from quarter notes. Basically the interior of the note head is filling in.
The following example reproduces the problem:
\version "2.18.2"
\score {
\relative c' {
\aikenHeads
\override NoteHead.
c2 d2 e2 f2 g2 a2 b2 c2
}
\layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 21)
}
}
\score {
\relative c' {
\aikenHeads
c2 d2 e2 f2 g2 a2 b2 c2
}
\layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 22)
}
}
The D in the first system (at staff size 21) has the note head filled in. The
D in the second system (with staff size 22) has the note head hollow as it
should be.
I'm not sure how to proceed with fixing this. I can artificially enlarge the
note heads; but that is an unsatisfactory fix that I'd like to avoid if
possible. I'm afraid the real fix would involve a change in the font
definitions. It seems the pen size is a bit too large. Is there a way short
of changing the font definition of controlling that?
