A while ago we had that discussion about a user wanting two vertical lines on
each side of the breve instead of one. I have now prepared a patch for our
font, which adds such a "noteheads.sM1double" glyph:
http://codereview.appspot.com/109075
This patch also defines a notehead style 'altdefault, which is the same as the
default, except that it uses the double-lined breve instead of the single-
lined one.
Okay to apply.
One thing I notice is that the vertical lines are usually a bit larger than
the notehead. This would also change the default breve glyph, so I haven't
included that in the patch. What do you think about this issue?
Regarding the single- vs. double-line breve: I have not yet found a reference
to the single-line breve. Only the double-lined breve can be found practically
everywhere:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brevis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_whole_note
http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/textd/Doublewholenote.html
So, shouldn't we change the default to double-line breves?
Cheers,
Reinhold
