Back in the olden days, lilypond-book only set the music, and left the titling to the publishing program. I produced a book of Drinking Songs in LaTeX, with the titles in hge, an Old English font derived from the Hershey font.
I now want to do an updated version of this book. I would like the titles to still be in some old-english-like font. I'm not asking here as a criticism of the documentation, but because I have a deadline tomorrow. I need to figure out: 1. How to tell lilypond how to use a particular font for titles. It would be preferable to have a variable that I could set for all my files, so that saying: title = "He that would an alehouse keep" would produce a title in Old English, rather than having to say for every piece: title = \markup{[some font specification]{He that would an alehouse keep"}} But I'll take what I can get. 2. How to install an Old English like font onto my ubuntu 10.10 system that I can use the above trick on. It looks like finding one should be easier than turning the hge.mf file I have into something that current lilypond could make use of, but so far I haven't figured out how to do either one. Can anyone help?
