(1) Easy notation for singers

The easy notation feature is designed for instrumentalists:

tion-note-heads>

i.e., it inscribes the letter value inside the notehead.

Is there a way to inscribe numbers instead of letters?

A cappella singers, learning how to sight-sing -- I need to teach them how to
think in terms of "degrees of the scale".

(There isn't anyplace on our throats where we can put our fingers to make an
"e" or an "a").


Easy shape-note heads (with a scale degree instead of the shape, or maybe
with a larger head and a scale degree written inside of it) should be a very
easy change to make.

I'd like to invite any frogs looking for a project, or any user who would
like to get more into the internals, to try starting with this project.
Please let me know by email if you'd like to take it on, and I'll be happy
to help you get started with it.

I've also copied this to bug-lilypond so one of our bugmeisters can create
an enhancement request.

Thanks,

Carl



For the record, this was Issue 959: Enhancement Request: Easy shape-note heads with a scale degree - fixed 2.13.11
