I was looking at Jesse Aiken's _Christian Minstrel_, the original source of
Aiken-style shape note heads, and I saw that he centers the noteheads on the
stems for the symmetrical shapes, i.e. re, mi, and ti. I think it improves
the recognizability of the shapes, and I'd like to do it in my shape-note
music. I can't figure out how to make it happen only on those scale
degrees, though, other than to do like this:
\version "2.14.2"
\relative c' {
\aikenHeads
c
\once \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'(0 . 0) d
\once \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'(0 . 0) e
f g a
\once \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'(0 . 0) b
c \bar "|."
}
What I'd like to be able to do is:
\relative c' {
\aikenHeads
\centerReMiTi
c d e f g a b c
}
Is there an example of scale-degree-sensitive code I can look at? I can't
seem to find where aikenHeads is defined.
