Dear list,
I have been using Lilypond for many years, and have written a scheme function
to create a double ended arrow which I need for my notation (someone on this
list helped me with this some years ago.)
The code looks like this:
arrow = #(define-music-function (parser location arg1) ( pair
BTW, I could never fix the italic font in SVG output (I think the
font file inside Lilypond is wrong - it seems to contain Cyrillic
characters) so I installed Century Schoolbook Italic fonts separately
and altered my .sed file to look like this:

There are a couple of ways to get non-native graphics into Lilypond
output. I don't use scheme drawing commands, although this might be
a possibility. The \epsfile command (in a markup) is handy - you
can create an .eps file in Inkscape and then use a macro to do
normal alignment. If you ne

I got this to work with:

However, the output is currently considerably buggier than 2.10.33

work. I'll investigate if I can improve the solution as I use SVG
output quite a lot.

A while ago, we got a sed script working to fix Lilypond svg output.

I investigated the svg fi
