Re: New fonts for chords

[Pekka Siponen]

For chords I don't think there is a standard approach. Chords haven't 
been around long enough. I was hoping to collect opinions here. :) Maybe 
the best source would be in some typography book? I checked mine and 
couldn't find any specific mention about the position, only the weight. 
Maybe someone else has something..?

Most of the basic typographical rules seem to apply also to music 
notation, so maybe also chords..

Yes, I was thinking about posting to bug-lilypond when I have some free 
time around the holidays.

Some of the other problems with the chords I had:
The other problem was that I would have had to adjust chord positions 
(both horizontal and vertical) in many cases. Chords under the alternate 
endings, so that they would have been inside the ending brackets, closer 
to the staff and clear of the number (for example 1. or 2.). Also a 
chord (horizontal position) and a rehearsal mark so that both could fit 
on the basic vertical level.
I don't remember if I made a post about these to the user or the bug 
list. Only that it was getting wee bit too complicated for my taste, and 
didn't have the time to pursue the issues. :)
