Re: scale notehead X and Y independently
Thanks Robin. This does exactly what I need. I will use this to optically tweak
note heads before trying to patch the fonts again. Lets me optically align the
mi and do.

Well, I'm not sure what you're aiming for, but try this:
miNarrow = #(lambda (grob)(if (eqv? (ly:grob-property grob 'style)
'miMirror)
(ly:stencil-scale (ly:note-head::print grob) 0.5 1.5)
(ly:note-head::print grob)))
\relative c' {
\override NoteHead #'stencil = #miNarrow
\aikenHeads
c e4
c e4
}

Re: scale notehead X and Y independently
Sorry, it's taken me a while to get back to this. This works fine but how do I
apply it to a specific note in a \set shapeNoteStyles context. Tried the
following for example but not working.
---8-
miNarrow = {
\musicglyph #noteheads.s1mi
#(lambda (grob) (ly:stencil-scale
(ly:note-head::print grob) 0.95 1.05))
}
aikenHeads = {
\set shapeNoteStyles = #'#(do re miNarrow fa sol la ti)
}
\key c
\relative c' {
\aikenHeads
c e4
c e4
}

In the recent development versions (starting with 2.13.38) you can. The
following snippet uses an X-factor of 2:
wideNH = #(lambda (grob) (ly:stencil-scale (ly:note-head::print grob) 2 1))
{
b'4 g'4 \override NoteHead #'stencil = #wideNH
b'4 g'4

Via GUB: http://lilypond.org/gub/ It's not for the faint of heart, but should be possible (if very slow) on a virtual machine. Seconded on the not for faint of heart, and my guess is that it would take something like 24 hours to compile a binary inside lilydev. If you seriously seriously want to compile lilypond binaries, install ubuntu natively, preferably on a multi-core machine. On my duo-core machine with hyperthreading (i.e. 4 threads at once) and 3 gigs of RAM, it takes about 12 hours to compile everything.

Tonic Sol-Fa
I know that LilyPond does not currently support Tonic Sol-Fa notation. However, in my work on African Hymn I found that many Africans are familiar with this form of notation. Most of my source material was originally set using this format. I devised a spreadsheet with formulas to convert bars of tonic sol-fa into lilypond notation. Actually it just converts the d, m, r, f etc to the appropriate a, b, c etc based on the key of the song. I added shortcuts for adding rests and skips as well - simply using SS instead of s and RR instead of r. Once I have entered the notes simply copy the converted columns into LilyPond and voila!

Re: MF fonts
Thanks again for all the suggestions for the alternative mi
I have successfully compiled the new font with a miNarrow character. This
character has been horizontally scaled back to 100% and vertically scaled 110%.
Will submit the update for approval later. Here is a png showing both versions
of the mi in practice.

Re: MF fonts
Carl,
I agree perhaps the mi and do could be a smidgeon wider for optical equivalence
with the sol.
I am using an include file for my hymn book with a line that redefines
\aikenHeads to use my modified mi so if this becomes the default I simply have
to drop that definition from the include file.

Tim,
This is great work! Thanks for jumping in to it.
In looking at your images, it seems to me that the narrow head should be the
default used for shape notes, rather than the wide head. The wide head may
have the advantage of looking more optically equivalent, but I think the
stacking problem as demonstrated in your example is reqlly quite ugly.
If we're going to continue to use a wide mi head, we should probably widen
the do head a bit too.
Before accepting this patch, I'd like to see if the shape note community
thinks we ought to make Tim's work the default (maybe only) mi head.
Thanks,
Carl

Re: MF fonts
Thanks for the suggestions. Will try to compile Emmentaler with a new narrow version of the MI but perhaps slightly deeper so it looks big enough. Examining an old but beautiful book I have has all notes the same width but the Mi seems to extend a tiny bit higher/lower than other notes. Probably for optical purposes. Otherwise I might take a short cut and redefine the size of the mi using the stencil-scale option.

It is possible to scale a note head differently in x and y if you are using it in a markup, but as far as I know, there is no way to scale it differently in x and y as a note head in the music. I'm not a dev but it should be possible to scale all the note heads (i.e. not only the mi) by using ly:stencil-scale , I think. If one wanted to scale *all* of the note heads, one could do that, by overriding the stencil property of NoteHead. \override NoteHead #'stencil = #(lambda (grob) (ly:stencil-scale (ly:note-head::print grob) x-scale-factor y-scale-factor)) Note that I have *not* tested this code, so it may be slightly wrong in some detail.

Otherwise I might take a short cut and redefine the size of the mi using the stencil-scale option. Yet another possibility is to convince the shape-note community that your mi shape is better. A scan from your beautiful book, coupled with a .png of the current output and a .png of the output if you just reshape the mi head in the current Aiken font might be just the ticket. There is a fasoli yahoo group: http://groups.google.com/group/fasoli It's a private group, so you'll need to join. There's also a website: http://www.hosorembo.com/Lily/Lilindex.html There's a wiki page on shape note aesthetics: http://wiki.lilynet.net/index.php/Shapenote_notehead_aesthetics I ended up doing the shape note heads because I knew metafont (actually, I learned metafont to do the note heads, IIRC). But I'm not a shape note singer. So I'm not the best judge of aesthetics. Previous discussion on shape note aesthetics can be found at http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1060 and http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=602 At any rate, I'd love to have your input in making shape note heads right.
