I've been working from Leigh Verlag's page on faking a Real Book page in LilyPond (thanks to Kieren for the link):
http://leighverlag.blogspot.ca/2015/12/mimicking-real-book-look.html That page answers many of my questions. I still have some font questions. Please forgive my ignorance of both LilyPond (this is my first project) and fonts in general (no experience other than changing fonts inside a Microsoft Word document). Can I use any jazz character font set with LilyPond? Or is there a magic order that the symbols need to be in? I like the look of the commercial product JazzFont (to view the complete character sets, click on "KEYSTROKES" in the rightmost blue box on the second line of boxes in the top center of the page, then click on "Jazzfont for Windows", which is down a bit on the right): www.jazzfont.com I see that this font set has several subsets (pardon the wrong language), including one ("JazzCord") that appears to map single character codes to things such as "-7(b5)". Can this feature be uses with LilyPond? Or is it easier to use LilyPond with one character code mapping to a single character? I guess the basic question is: Could I use this font set productively with LilyPond? Or should I stick to LilyJazz and LilyJazzText? I realize my questions may be incoherent or incomprehensible. My apologies. I just installed by first font (Windows 7 Pro) five minutes ago...
