)I already found this solution, but to me, it looks like overkill to simply )replace two symbols. Especially as I need the changed symbols only in )chordmode - for notes, LiliPond's are perfect. It may be possible to refer using a markup option to refer to a specific character within a font - what I mean by that is that we can print UTF characters by using a specific markup command along with the UTF number (so you can show accents and diacritics etc.). I am not really knowledgeable if you can refer to a non-standard character in a font by using this method, someone else may know - for example I know that the 'hash' character on a mac is 'alt-3' if you use the keyboard but there maybe a mapping reference we can use to tell LilyPond to print that character instead. That way you could then use that custom font character 'as if' you were typing it on the keyboard. I hope that makes sense to someone? ) )> Alternatively you could use the LilyPond glyph within the chordname by )> using the \flat and \sharp markup. ) )I'm not sure I understand - I do not want to use LilyPond's glyphs in chord )names, but custom ones... ) Well you said the chord font didn't match the lilypond ones, so I suggested replacing the chord font accidentals with Lilyponds' so the accidentals all look the same. :) regards James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
