Subject: Re: The Stem of Longa notes is short when Baroque Notehead
style is used

Well, I suppose it's useless to try to argue, but that glyph might be
supposed to be like that, but it is completely useless. I am posting a
lot of Renaissance music on CPDL using the original note values. The
final note is invariably a longa, which I have always substituted with
a breve because of Lilypond's longa looks so bad with its short stem.
In Renaissance music (i.e. everywhere where this kind of note-head is
used as longa) the stem of the longa is as long as all the other
stems. So this short stem is clearly wrong. But I since I can't force
you to draw a proper longa, I must resign that I cannot use longa in
transcriptions of Renaissance music in the future, either, since
apparently you do not care. (And I think it's also useless to remind
you that other engraving programs - notably Finale - have a proper
longa, which I therefore used as a Finale user before switching to
Lilypond.)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Imre

That’s because it’s not technically a stem, but part of the notehead
glyph. It’s supposed to be like that.
