Re: Ambrosian Chant Notation

[nagymusic]

Andrew,

Many thanks for your message. Here's what I have managed so far (see below).
I'm still trying to figure out how to create a custom notehead (extended
black rectangle), as in the attached example.

\version "2.19.83"

\include "gregorian.ly"
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"


chant = \relative c' {
  \set Score.timing = ##f
  c'4 a2 b\breve \divisioMinima
  g4 a c2 a2 \divisioMaior
  a4( g) g( a) a2 \finalis
}

verba = \lyricmode {
  O God, \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #-1 "help us in our
time of need."
  God have mer -- cy,
  Grant __ us __ peace.
}

\score {
  \new Staff <<
    \override Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count = #2
    \new Voice = "melody" \chant
    \new Lyrics = "one" \lyricsto melody \verba
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Staff
      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
      \remove "Bar_engraver"
      \hide Stem
    }
    \context {
      \Voice
      \override Stem.length = #0
    }
    \context {
      \Score
      barAlways = ##t
    }
  }
}
