Re: scripts-caesura - glyph not quite right

Sorry, I didn't read the mail subject carefully enough.
Searching the mailing list archives, I realize that you were involved
in the original discussion about the design of the symbol. May I remind
you of Han-Wen's comment in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-05/msg00283.html
Also, it's better to send feature requests or bug reports (whatever you
want to call your email) to bug-lilypond or lilypond-devel, once you
have found a scanned example that can convince the LilyPond hackers.
