The current set is too limited, and I think it has to be some new font that comes with the distribution for it to work properly. For example, the Persian microtonal accidentals koron and sori are not supported, even though there is a file for typesetting Persian music. So one reason to not use microtonal symbols is that there is no support for it, but actually some do anyhow without being able to get the right rendering. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
