Re: [PATCH] Re: Duration dots and Bar lines on custom Staves.

[Andrew Wagner]

Two years later, and I still haven't given up on getting Lilypond to
typeset twinline.  I believe I now know enough Metafont to edit
feta-bolletjes.mf (I believe it's now something like
feta-noteheads.mf) to add the noteheads we need.

What other steps do I need to take to make the noteheads usable?  It
seems the build system isn't smart enough to rebuild the font files
for you automatically; that has to be manually triggered manually
somehow...  Anything else?

I believe my working copy is based on 2.11.45 with Kevin Dalley's patches.

Cheers,
Drew
