Hi,
Quick question : is there any use case for passing a different brace font than
the general music font to `set-global-fonts`? Would it make sense to get rid of
this `#:brace` parameter, or at least make it default to the `#:music`
parameter?
Thanks,
Jean

Hi, Jean!
I am aware of individuals that appreciate the ability to mix and match
fonts, including the brace font. In fact, I would guess that the more
common combo is to use another music font with Emmentaler braces. I do
believe this is a corner case and maybe it should be changed with some
logic

This discussion makes me wonder whether something similar to LaTeX's
virtual fonts system wouldn't be useful here.
A virtual font is effectively a lookup table that says "for code point X
pick up font Y code point Z" enough times.
This way it's possible it'd be enough for the vast majority of use

I'm thinking we want both, Jean, because they are useful for different
scenarios.
But I think it does have merit, because if one like their sheets (or a
group of sheets) set up one way, with my method they'd need to change one
file in one place and they'd have their score adopt that look, whereas

I realize that “I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble” was bad wording on my
part. It *would* be a useful feature, b

There is still a lot to do, but this should
