That’s quite an honour - thanks! Though for myself I’d have to
rank many other posts higher, mainly ones in which someone creates
a brilliant/elegant solution to a problem.

Hello David,
I feel compelled to say this is the best post I have ever seen on this
list, on any topic! Marvellous.
As an aside, I find the TAB symbol just particularly dreadful. But I
often wonder why tablature even needs it - surely it is obvious that
what follows is tab, and it does not i
Well it is a 'swash' font…

If those letters were human, they’d each be wearing a fancy red
dress. And also a fancy blue dress at the same time, with a big
metallic-gold sash. And they’d have their hair in ringlets, and

Much thanks, @Andrew Bernard ! I was expecting
letterforms, not a single glyph. And thanks for the location as well.

So, using fontforge on Linux to examine Emmentaler, the tab clef is
done as a single glyph, like the other clefs, not as a combination of
letters. And so it's not really composed of letter glyphs, but it is
an artistic creation. Attached is the fontforge font outline window.
It's Unicode 0xe08c.

@Dave-Bowen, thanks! That came up in a previous discussion of tabs and
LaTeX. I'm holding it in reserve as, for the moment, I'm comfortable with
the smallish code I've got. Easier to change and play with. Admittedly if I
were going on looks alone, your approach would probably win hands down.

Hugh,
You might want to look at the lyluatex package for LaTeX. It allows you
to include LilyPond snippets in a LaTeX document processed with
lualatex.I've used it to prepare a collection of Barbershop tags. LilyPond
creates PDF files for each tag. LaTex handles the layout and prepares the

There are quite a few font viewers out there for win10 and Linux, so that
is not a problem. I've played around with writing code that writes the code
for a type specimen sheet—perhaps now is the time to return to that
project. In the meantime, I'll take a look at the Emmentaler font. Thanks
for t
Sorry, that's probably total rubbish from me. C059 just seems to be
some free text font. The other font in the test PDF is just
Emmentaler, so I suppose it must be letters from there. [I have never
quiet figured out what simple tool there is to view Emmentaler font
glyphs - must be something around
I asked what is the real question in order to find the use to which you
want to put it, as there may be an easier way. I am no expert but I am
sure you can embed snippets of lilypond scores in TeX works simplty.
Anyway, making a test TAB PDF, the font used is CO59, and I see this is
supplied i
