Dear Community,
I've already defined some microtonal pitchnames
But, unfortunately I have problems with the correct spacing.
Especially I don't understand why the distance between the barline and the
cis is better if it is a whole note but not, if it is a quartenote.
Here the snippet:
\version "2.13.3"

\include "stefansMikrotoene.ly"
\relative c' {

c co coo cih cis cis cis cis
c4 co coo cih cis 1
}
