Re: Microtonal Helmholtz-Ellis notation in Lilypond: fine-tuning

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Graham,
in the meantime I found out, where I have to install the font on my kubuntu machine.
I was able to try out the example.
There is one not convincing for me:
The default accidental is an natural. But I would like to use fis and ges as before.
Wouldnt it a possibilitie to define new pitch-names, like it has been done in the makam.ly?
But how can this be done?

What I don't understand is: where do I have to have the files of the
HE-font?

You install them wherever fonts go on your system.  That may sound vague but, of course, it depends on your system.  I think there's a special folder LilyPond looks in as well but I'd have to check the documentation to find it, same as you.

And, is there a final version of the example code somewhere? I wasn't able
to find it!

Don't know, sorry.  Probably somewhere in this thread.
