This is really good news!
I should be able to test your package with LuaLaTeX in the next days.
I skimmed through the manual and, as others have already said, your
package is really impressive!

Best wishes.
Davide

Hello,


I echo Philippe's compliments - this is truly incredible, Urs.

Thanks!

I won't have time to test it until later, but I know I will be a frequent user!

Then _please_ get it through forking the Git repository.
A frequent user will surely add new commands.
And many of these will probably be good to go into the package ...

Hello,

I'll take some time later this week to look carefully, but a first good news
is that I was able to compile the manual after installing the missing fonts
on 2 different computers :-)
That's very good to know. I didn't have concrete doubts, but LaTeX is 
always good for a surprise ;-)


2 years ago, I developed such a package (far less complete!) targeted to
LaTeX (not Xe- or Lua-)
Ah, yes, I recall having looked at that last year when I started on 
lilyglyphs.

and I see your work as an opportunity to look at
XeLaTeX.

I suggest also looking at LuaLaTeX at this opportunity.
One thing I missed from XeLaTeX were a few very advanced typographic 
features.
The fact that out of the blue I got a contribution by Dave Bellows who 
made lilyglyphs work with LuaLaTeX too actually triggered tackling a 
release now ...


I'll take a look at glyphs combinations that could be usefull; octaviation
clefs, for instance.
Any contribution is highly welcome, as one part of the task at hand is 
to increase the glyph coverage. And I'll surely work on that mainly with 
my own practical needs in mind. So if there are many people submitting 
predefined commands the package can grow significantly faster.
(I wouldn't try to create octaviation clefs on the LaTeX side but 
definitely through the pdf images BTW).


Best
Urs


Thanks for your awesome work!

Philippe
