Dear Lilypond users,
Somehow the SacredHarpHeads have gotten very small in 2.8. The regular
notehead (the one called #f in property-init.ly) is normally sized, of
course, so one can't simply globally adjust notehead size or one ends up
with big fat "sol" noteheads. Is there a way to get the shaped heads to
normal size while leaving the standard #f head as it is?
BTW, the sequence of shapes for the Sacred Harp four-shape system is still
wrong in property-init.ly. In property-init.ly it goes : (#f #f mi #f fa la
#f)
But it *should* go (fa #f la fa #f la mi). That's the Sacred Harp system.
What lilypond has goes "sol sol mi sol fa la sol." Very funny scale, that.
Muchas Gracias.

I compile Lilypond instead of using GUB, and I apply the attached patch
to make shape-notes wider. They are a bit narrower than 2.7, but
considerably wider than 2.8. It would be nice if the width of the
shaped heads could be tuned within a .ly file, but right now I don't
have any disposable cash to make that happen.
Both 4-shape and 8-shape scales have noteheads exactly as wide as the
round noteheads in all published sources I can find. I can send scans
if you like. An online example can be found here:
