Re: Change the shape of treble clef

Hi Karlin and Klose, You get a lot more than just a treble clef, although that's what the OP was asking. You get a very refined and subtle complete font. Cadence is very subtle. I tend to think of Abraham's work as what is called payware in the flight sim world - not commercial greed but some

Re: Tweaking Hairpin shape

Hello again! I managed to modify David's translation of ly:hairpin::print to have it use two properties, Hairpin.rotate and Hairpin.straight-end, to achieve almost all the results I wanted. The idea is that Hairpin.rotate can be either a numerical value, representing the angle of rotation, or a

Hi Hilary, Keeps getting wierder. Again different behaviour. Who can know the Mind of Google? Anyway, it's an old link that I had that is no longer current (but worked for me tonight!). Urs gave the right one. Glad you like Emmentaler, but others have different qualities, but quite subtle.

Not sure about quotes, but LaTeX, as a rule, hates spaces in filenames. They should be avoided at all costs in LaTeX documents. Even though lilypond-book is a preprocessor (and thus not subject to the same restrictions), it thus wouldn't surprise me that it is the same way. --

Re: Gis major key signature; Lily's key signature algorithm

Organ's can be tuned equally with ease, although it is fairly time intensive. (A midsize instrument, say 25 stops, will take about 8 hrs. to do) It is not a lack of competence but a general lack of consistent temperature that frequently gives the general tuning fuzziness to the organ. It is a

I agree, and we find even older semi-equal temperaments on instruments from ancient China that also make clear that theorists knew what those tunings were. But the first-hand accounts of theorists and composers (and prior to the 20th century, those two disciplines had a lot more overlap) was that
