Re: Persian musical koron and sori
Hi, I produced a package of things that I could do. I made a TTF Persian font called Vaziri which has the music notations. I also created a separate folder for a version of the font (without Persian text characters) in OTF and Type1 format with all their related files. There is also a PDF for 21 Persian music symbols that I could collect. Hope it helps. http://idisk.mac.com/behnam-Public?view=web Behnam On 20-Feb-09, at 6:23 PM, Kees van den Doel wrote: \override Accidental #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print \override Accidental #'font-name = #??? \override Accidental #'font-size = #? \override Accidental #'text = #(lambda (grob) (cdr (assoc (ly:grob-property grob 'alteration) persianStrings))) \override Accidental #'X-extent = #'(0 . 1) \override Accidental #'Y-extent = #'(-1 . 1) and so on for KeySignature I added lookup code for the positioning of the symbols and it works great with Pertout's microtonal font (http://www.pertout.com/ PhD2007Introduction.htm), sample attached! Thanks again. But can't understand how to get KeySignature to print these symbols though, anyone out there that understands how to do that? Should KeySignature have a list in # 'text perhaps?

Re: Persian musical koron and sori
Yes Kees I downloaded the font and saw the glyphs. This is as far as I can go with my current work too. Except that I will add additional Persian music notations (and perhaps somewhat better looking glyphs!). But I can only produce a font in ttf format, another one perhaps in otf format. I can also extract the glyphs in EPS format individually. I wouldn't know how to put them in LilyPond.

See http://www.pertout.com/PhD2007Introduction.htm links at bottom (downloads) for the fonts. I have no idea how to use this in lilypond though. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You need to say what interval (as a fraction of a 200 cent whole tone) you want each symbol to correspond to. I guess this has been already sorted out for koron and sori before I was exposed to this. If not, I can do some research to provide the information. The other notations I mentioned are more like overhead marks about 'how' the note should sound and not 'what'. I'm not finished with my work yet. I may be able to explain more when I'm done. It's still a couple of weeks to go I guess.

Re: Persian musical koron and sori
I also hopefully will get some pictures from Iran. The thickness of the lines have also something to do with its harmony with other music notes. So this is not much of an issue. But the basic shaping has something that should be looked more carefully. But generally speaking it is pretty clear to me. There is apparently some specific notation marks for some specific instruments as well (Taar for example) I'm waiting for the scans to see what's the situation.

The sori is always a rotated = with an on it, and the koron akways has the '' body. That is good to know - I think what you say is best, being most distinguishable (like from an inverted b or some other sharp variation). There is a small subtlety: the usual sharp # is usually drawn a bit slanted (endpoints of vertical bars not exactly level, but moving up). I think this may have to do with how the horizontal lines = are drawn (somewhat slanted upwards). These horizontal lines are also usually drawn fat. Can you see in your examples how the sori is drawn in these respects? That is, are vertical line endpoints level, No, the vertical lines are just as in the normal sharp. and is the fatter? Usually not, but they are handwritten. I'll scan in some more examples to compare. Kees ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
