Re: handwritten music font

[Juergen Reuter]

Hi,

how many glyphs are you planning to add?  If your project is going to 
become a font with many dozens of glyphs over time, you could add new .mf 
files, just as the parmesan font does for ancient notation.  If you grep 
for the string "parmesan" on all files in the mf directory, you will see 
which files you have to add/modify in order to add a completely new font.

For note head selection from evaluating the style property, you have to 
extend function note-head::calc-glyph-name in file scm/output-lib.scm 
properly.  Similarly, for clefs, you have to extend scm/parser-clef.scm.
Selection of glyphs of other grob types (e.g. accidentals) is currently 
still done directly in the c++ code (e.g. lily/accidental.cc); though, on 
the long term, this code should probably also be replaced by scheme code.

Greetings,
Juergen
