Re: Supporting ♯ and ♭

It looks like you have made the use of ♯ and ♭ conditional on including english.ly? As someone mentioned earlier, these are international and so would need to be in the default note names. Ideally, there would be a mechanism to accumulate names not just replace them, so that these only needed to

Find attached a "define-note-names.scm" file that contains the definition for the new note names with ♯ and ♭. Who can help get it in lilypond source code control ? test_english_symbol.pdf test_english_symbol.ly

Re: Supporting ♯ and ♭

I could see where this could be useful when sharing Lilypond files. Since we don't all use the same language setting things can get a bit confusing. But it seems like this should be something that one's editor does. Like I type my Lilypond file as I normally do it and then hit "M-x lilypond-beauti

I agree it is not easier to type but any non-techie musician will find this easier to read. Adding shortcuts in Frescobaldi will help type the ♯ and ♭. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Supporting-and-tp167206p167212.html Sent from the User mailing list a

Re: Supporting ♯ and ♭

Hello Marc, I find if surprising that you call this 'easier to type'. At any rate, alphabetic characters are way easier to reach on virtually any keyboard layout. Few layouts will support those signs at all. And I think LilyPonds representation of notes is reasonably easy to read. Perhaps it re

Re: Supporting ♯ and ♭

yep this works, I started creating a new language "English_normal" (lack of inspiration for now) and started writing a chromatic scale. Any interest in adding this to lilypond ? If so, how do I submit it in the source code control? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.n

Re: Supporting ♯ and ♭

You can try to add another “language” (or add alias entries to the english language) in the file define-note-names.scm. I’m not sure whether this will work (does Scheme support Unicode?) but it would be definitely a simple solution. Am 06.10.2014 um 15:49 schrieb MarcM: In an effort to make

Supporting ♯ and ♭

In an effort to make lilypond syntax easier for people to adopt, i'd love to see lilypond support the ♯ and ♭alterations Unicode symbols. I know using '#' would not work due to conflict with scheme but what about using the Unicode symbols? "g g g e♭" would be easier to write and read then "g g
