I just thought I'd ask the question...
If more music fonts were available, would we, the LilyPond community (I
realize this doesn't reach everyone using LP), be willing to sacrifice a
_very tiny_ amount of extra typing to support the ability to switch music
fonts more easily?
Let me explain. When one wants to change the text fonts _globally_, there is
the very useful Scheme function "make-pango-font-tree", which looks
something like this when used:
\paper {
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree
"FreeSerif" ; the serif font
"FreeSans" ; the sans-serif font
"Inconsolata" ; the mono-space font
(/ staff-height pt 20)))
}
You simply put this block into you .ly file and now you get those fonts
instead of the defaults. /What if/, using a similar syntax we could change
the music and brace fonts like this (additions highlighted):
\paper {
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree
/*"gonville" ; the music notation font
"emmentaler" ; the music brace font*/
"FreeSerif" ; the serif font
"FreeSans" ; the sans-serif font
"Inconsolata" ; the mono-space font
(/ staff-height pt 20)))
}
Just wondering... :)
Regards,
Abraham
