I will get back to you when I collected the information I need. I did not have time to study the font part yet. I will get back to you when I have a clearer idea about the whole issue.

If you want to support more Persian notation the most important (and universal) is probably the symbol for tahrir, which is a small o above (if stems up) or below (if stems down) and in the middle of two equal notes.Something like o o <- tahrir O O O | | | | | | it indicates a small grace note of undefined pitch.There are some symbols for tar/setar and santur as well, let me know if you want to see any.Kees ----- Original Message ----- From: Behnam Rassi <address@hidden> Date: Monday, February 2, 2009 2:46 pm Subject: Re: Persian musical koron and sori To: Kees van den Doel <address@hidden>Cc: Hans Aberg <address@hidden>, Graham Breed <address@hidden>, lilypond <address@hidden>I also hopefully will get some pictures from Iran. The thickness of the lines have also something to do with its harmony with other music notes. So this is not much of an issue. But the basic shaping has something that should be looked more carefully. But generally speaking it is pretty clear to me. There is apparently some specific notation marks for some specific instruments as well (Taar for example) I'm waiting for the scans to see what's the situation.

The sori is always a rotated = with an > on it, and the koronakwayshas the '>' body.That is good to know - I think what you say is best, being most distinguishable (like from an inverted b or some other sharp variation). There is a small subtlety: the usual sharp # is usually drawn a bit slanted (endpoints of vertical bars not exactly level, but moving up). I think this may have to do with how the horizontal lines "=" are drawn (somewhat slanted upwards). These horizontal lines are also usually drawn fat. Can you see in your examples how the sori is drawn in these respects? That is, are vertical line endpoints level,No, the vertical lines are just as in the normal sharp.and is the ">" fatter?Usually not, but they are handwritten. I'll scan in somemoreexamples to compare. Kees
