If we invent a new articulation, music fonts from other sources will not know about it, or we won't know about what they have. And even if we puzzle articulations together from pieces, they won't fit together just the same in other music fonts. So what's the sanest course with regard to new articulations? This is not really related to this particular addition, but it generally makes me wonder. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user -- 《〠》】〶【〖〠〗〶〛〷〚 Jeff Treviño PhD Candidate in Music Composition @ the University of California, San Diego 〖〠〗〶〛〷〚《〠》】〶 Skype: jeffreytrevino E-mail: jeffrey.trev...@gmail.com Web: www.jeffreytrevino.com 〚《〠》】〶【〖〠〗〶〛〷 9310H Redwood Dr. La Jolla, CA 92037 USA 〖〠〗〶〛〷〚《〠》】〶【
