Hi all, thanks for pointing that out. That's exactly along the lines I was thinking. Is anybody capable of doing the scheme/lilypond code? I don't know Metafont yet but I think I could handle that part and throw in the glyphs (they are currently PS Type1). -- Orm Am 28. Januar 2007, 05:19 Uhr

I agree %100 with the addition of accidentals with arrows. However, I also think that both, the standard 1/4 and 3/4 tone signs Lilypond already has and the new ones should both be accessible, and, ideally, within the same notehead-style. Otherwise combining them in a single score would require

Hi, we use additional simple up/down arrows placed left to normal accidentals, giving a concise way to specify the complete eighth tone scale. The glyphs are actually included in the font. This would make even more changing of alteration syntax necessary, though. I don't mind to be able to

I don't really see the problem. What you already have proposed is to use property settings to change between the different styles. To save some typing, it will then be easy to add macros such as \arrowQuarterToneAccidentals (please make up something shorter) and \...whatever, to easily change

Hi, for a while I wanted to suggest adding the option of using a different style for microtone accidentals. I personally prefer the use of up or down arrows on extended vertical lines of the standard accidentals (see attached example). The advantage of this style is a better differentiation of
