Re: harp basic muffle

[N. Andrew Walsh]

Hi Rachel,

thanks for the muffle glyphs, they look really nice.

A question: is there a way to get the stem_engraver to accept these glyphs? If it could, it would be possible to notate string-specific muffling (something called for by some contemporary scores). 

Thanks for the help,

A

Hi all,

In super old scores, an asterisk was used, but that is not true of scores today. The example below that says English Ballad is from 1942. The next one is from 2005 and seems to be what is standard. The final one is one I created last year with Finale so you could see what proportions they chose. (It is extra large as the book is for younger students.)

After studying these examples more, I adjusted the settings to make it consistent with current examples.

mufflePath= \markup \path #'0.15 #'((moveto -1.125 0)

                                    (lineto 1.125 0)

                                    (moveto 0 -1.125)

                                    (lineto 0 1.125))

muffleMarkup= \markup \translate #'(1.2 . -1.5) 

                   \combine \mufflePath \draw-circle #.75 #0.15 ##f

It would be wonderful for harpists if this glyph could be added.

Best,

Rachel

Perfect, thanks so much!

Is the exact shape of this symbol `universal'?  I.e., do German,
French, and US publishers use exactly this shape?  If the answer is
yes the glyph should be added to the lilypond music fonts.
