What do others on this list think of this style? (See the code below.) My initial thoughts on a “wish list” of desired features for modern custodes: 1. Preview of the rhythm: Note head differs based on whether the next note is a quarter note, half note, or whole note. (No differentiation between quarter notes and smaller note values, since these custodes will be stemless.) 2. Support for all note head styles: For example, if I add \override NoteHead.style = #'baroque to my code, a custos showing an upcoming breve will change automatically from the default breve style to the baroque style. 3. Support for ledger lines: Is this already available in 2.25? I note that the old GitLab issue about ledger lines for custodes <https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6055> is closed (status: Done).
