Hi Robert, I cloned the git repository and compiled the Larsen symbols. I all works beautifully with the current highest revision of lilypond 2.19.81, even though the code is somewhat old. Here's the result of the test code attached as an image. The code fr this is not hard to understand:

Hi Robert, Using a font is not how this is done in lilypond. It's a matter of defining new symbols that can be used by the engraver modules for the notes, like articulations and so on. This is fairly advanced to build from scratch, but you can just use the results of the work I pointed to as a
