Comment #14 on issue 3507 by [email protected]: Harmonic notes should have
concave sides
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3507
Well, the concaveness is somewhat pronounced, in particular when compared
with the examples Gould gives. At this degree, it is close to impossible
to give a balanced, symmetric appearance where all sides appear equally
curved. Part of the reason is the skewed fill-in. I think that the inner
boundary lines should have proportionally less curvature based on their
smaller distance to the center, and it should be hard to tell whether they
are straight or still slightly curved (I think at the current point of
time, they are straight and that makes the fill-in "bars" be slightly
wonky).
I'd give the whole a bit less concavity: like kerning, it should just give
a slightly more elegant overall effect without drawing attention to the
reason. Yes, it is slightly frustrating to put effort into something which
is barely discoverable.
But that's font design. Anything that stands out is too much.
