Oh, BTW- I talked with Jan about the text fonts. Our guess is that
CMR is already reasonably close to a music text font. We should
probably make a private "lilypond-modern" variant of CMR (preferably
with accented chars as well), where we tweak the weights and widths of
glyphs to match a typical music text-font. My initial guess is that
the hairlines of CMR are too light and that the BX series is too wide.
