Re: Fonts from the former fonts.openlilylib.org

[Steve Lacy]

I have found the orignial SIL-licensed files available on the internet, and have made a new GitHub organization and corresponding repositories for the fonts themselves.  Please see https://github.com/OpenLilyPondFonts

I've included all that I could find from fonts.openlilylib.org, as well as Bravura.  

I'm happy to add other contributors to the repositories, and would like to add example usage .ly scripts as well but I just got this going and wanted to share with people here early. 

I know that this might be somewhat controversial (as it seems the original authors are trying to hide the content) but given that this is fully intact with original SIL open font licenses, etc., I'm confident that this is the right thing to do to keep these files available in their open form.

Abraham, FWIW I totally support your decision to go "commercial", and as I
said before in private, I'm already waiting to pay for your work. I also
think you could benefit from offering your fonts for use in Finale in
Sibelius, perhaps using the SMuFL standard.

For those of you who are looking for currently available alternatives to the
stock Lilypond music font, there are a number of font packages available
using  lyp <https://github.com/noteflakes/lyp>   (which takes care of font
installation), namely Bravura, Gootville and Lilyjazz.
