Comment #10 on issue 694 by joseph.wakeling: Enhancement: arrowed heads for
microtone accidentals
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=694
Looking at the patches, they don't address the fundamental problem. I
don't know whether they really matter at this stage.
The problem is not the support for arbitrary fractional alterations of a
pitch per se. The problem is that Lilypond permits only one possible
accidental for any given alteration of a pitch, whereas some microtonal
notations (like the arrowed notation) can have two different accidentals
for the same pitch alteration.
I'll try and write up an adequate description of the problems/concerns for
the -devel list. I did try and do this some time ago at:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-04/msg00139.html
... but the discussion/feedback at the time didn't lead to an adequate
solution.
