Greetings, All!
I have worked out a very nice way to switch between notation fonts in
LilyPond, both on a global document level and a local usage level. Up
until now, there were only a couple of music fonts available that were
really usable on a professional level:
/
Emmentaler
/
(the default, built-in font) and
/
Gonville
/
. There are also
/
LilyJAZZ
/
and
/
Bravura
/
(a SMuFL-compliant font), but they require some serious hacks to make
them work and they have trouble with even some basic notation elements
(like tempo markings, arpeggios, etc.).
I am pleased to announce that I have several new music fonts, both
in OTF
and SVG formats, that I'd like people to be able to use, but this requires
a patch to a single file, so anyone wanting to patch the file can do it
with little effort. It makes using other fonts as easy as putting a single
"\include" statement at the top of a .ly file. I use them all the time,
but I really want to share with the community that has shared so much with
me.

My question is this:

Is anyone interested in this?

I know that the notation font is a small part of the way a score looks,
but I think
we can all recall a time when a score just didn't look that
good and it was because of the notation elements, not just the score
layout.
And, just so you know, I have LilyJAZZ (including all the latest and
greatest efforts for chords and a bunch of missing articulations,
characters, etc.) and Bravura (my version is called
/
Profondo
/
, for OFL licensing reasons) working perfectly as alternate music fonts.
In addition, these all provide access to all the ancient notation glyphs
as well, so nothing is lost (except for Gonville, which I haven't taken
the time to update at all).
I eagerly await your responses!
Happily
Engraving,
Abraham
I'm certainly interested in hearing more about this!
