Comment #10 on issue 602 by lelandpaul: Feature request: better support for Sacred Harp notation
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=602

Don't base your work on Finale – the reason many of us shape-note composers are
trying to use Lilypond in the first place is that Finale does it very wrong.

I hope we don't need two sets of note-heads; however, I'm not very familiar with
Aiken shapes, and can't really comment on those.

Looking through the SH: As noted above, mi noteheads do have the SW and NE sides emphasized; the emphasis for mi does not change based on orientation of stem. On the fasoli list it was confirmed that all emphasized lines are exactly twice the weight
of the un-emphasized ones; it looks like this is what you have.

To my taste, the SH-relevant noteheads in this sample look excellent, Carl! Thank
you so much for taking this on.
