Thanks. Does this style exist somewhere in real-world music, or is this your ad-hoc design? > My initial thoughts on a “wish list” of desired features for modern > custodes: > > 1. Preview of the rhythm: Note head differs based on whether the > next note is a quarter note, half note, or whole note. (No > differentiation between quarter notes and smaller note values, > since these custodes will be stemless.) Again: does this exist somewhere? > 2. Support for all note head styles: For example, if I add > \override NoteHead.style = #'baroque to my code, a custos > showing an upcoming breve will change automatically from the > default breve style to the baroque style. This won't happen. You can easily define a macro to combine the two `\overrides`. > 3. Support for ledger lines: Is this already available in 2.25?

Yep, this was implemented already and is available in the current development release. Werner
