If I understand you correctly, you want to add a new articulation script
(rather than patching the code for dynamic marks). That's quite easy, if
you are a little bit familiar with metafont. For that purpose, you should
* add the articulation sign to the feta font; see file mf/feta-schrift.mf;
okay, i am not exactly familiar with it, although i can understand some parts of those files. But still i would be very grateful to be hinted to a encoding reference or the like. Does somebody know a link?
I guess i can complete that thing then. I might propose some more patches for some other useful marks if i won't appear the only person to find them useful...
Thanks, Arno
I guess the direction (up/down) does not matter for espressivo marks, hence a single character "espressivo" should suffice; you may want to have a look at the sforzatoaccent as an example of a similar character that is already in the font;
* tell lily about your articulation sign by adding it to the file scm/script.scm (twice the same character "espressivo" for both directions, up and down);
* add a handy shortcut to the file ly/script-init.ly
* for testing, add it to input/test/script-chart.ly
* for documentation, add it to the Articulations section (currently section 5.7.8) of the user manual; see Documentation/user/notation.itely.
And, whenever changing feta-schrift, don't forget to clean the font such that all font files will be rebuilt; otherwise, you will not see any change, or the font will be messed up (as inserting a new character changes the numbers in the font tables).
BTW. (Carl/Graham?), maybe above instructions fit into the programming concepts manual?
Greetings, Jürgen

okay, that's clear an answer. Where in the source is the accent defined which is created when i type something like c4-> ??
Thanks, Arno
