Thanks for letting us know. I've tried it (only on the screen, no time to visit print shop for a high quality print :( ); it is in fact very similar in shape to Century (except that it's significantly narrower). Unfortunately, in my opinion it's too thin, so it would need to be modified - this would be a nice project, but i don't think we have money to spare... best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
