Conor, et. al.,
Looking closely at the score, I don't believe the staff lines are pre-fixed at
all, since I can see variable spacing. I can't say for anything beyond the one
page in the pdf, of course. My experience tells me that LilyPond can manage
just about anything I throw at it :)
As for making the font, it wouldn't be that difficult. Create missing glyphs
will be relatively easy since it's a hand-writing style, so I wouldn't need a
lot of reference material. It would take some time and work, however, so if
there's enough interest in it, some financial sponsoring would be very helpful,
though not required.
Cool idea, Kieren! Where is this sample from?
