Hi Martín, Thank you for taking the time! Note that what I sent are by no means proposed alternatives, but just quick and dirty hacks for getting a sort of feeling about the difference. Lilypond’s G-Clef is not meant to be rotated, and will not look good this way. Generally you find both a rot

Hi Valentin, just sending my two cents, since I belong to one of those who feel that Lilypond has a quite characteristic G-clef (not ugly, but I wouldn't call it "normal" or "standard"). I just looked at your two proposals and browsed through random scores on IMSLP. Almost all of the IMSLP exam

Hello Silvain, That is kind of the point. In most editions the G-Clef is not balanced, but leans a bit forward. Lilypond’s G-Clef does so too, but very slightly, so the I’m asking for aesthetic opinions on whether this might be a slight bit too straight. Valentin signature.asc Description: Th

Interesting! As for me, the Lylypond orientation of G clef looks *actually better balanced* that the rotated one. The rotated version seems to fall on the right instead of staying straigth... I am not sure to understand all the details of the code, but I tried to check the angles (using a PDF o

Lilypond has a very characteristic G-Clef. I’ve only seen a handful of Bärenreiter scores with a similar clef. I personally find the Lilypond-Clef beautiful, but quite some people find it a bit too characteristic. I think part of this could come from the Clef being very straight. In most editio
