Thank you so much for this work! I'm currently hoping to learn metafont,
soon.
I have the code that will detect which note to print. I am working on
the seven shape (Aiken) system, but what I have should be convertible to
the four shape, fasola, Sacred Harp system. In the end I think there will
be a list of scheme symbols someone can customize to switch between the two
systems, but currently it is a C array of char*'s.
The work I've done isn't of the best quality; I intercept the values I
needed at whatever was the most convenient point at the time. Others have
pointed out better ways of doing things, and so I haven't sent anything
yet. Perhaps I will send what I have at some point.
The two big things stopping me from going any further have been my lack
of metafont knowledge and the two classes I'm taking this semester. :)
