Hello Matthew,
thank you for your interest in LilyPond!

Hello everyone!
My name is Matthew Sedam, and I am interested in LillyPond for Google
Summer of Code 2017. I am particularly interested in the "Adopt the
SMuFL
music font encoding standard" idea.
This would be a good thing, because it would promote LilyPond one step
further towards fully adhering to common standards.
I would like to know what progress, if
any, has been done on this project.
I must admit the progress to this mainly is that it is by now generally
accepted to be a good idea (when SMuFL was initially announced there had
been some reservations against the idea of supporting it), and that we
put it onto our GSoC ideas page.
In addition there has been some investigation into the matter of
notation font handling, which is mainly visible through the fact that
LilyPond now *does* natively support the use of alternative fonts, so a
few people do know something about it.
I also would appreciate any help
defining this project so I can write an effective proposal. I am new to
LillyPond development, but I have used the program many years ago.
The first thing will be to get an idea about what happens when LilyPond
uses glyphs from the notation font. How does it locate the font, how
does it identify the glyph to choose? And on the other side, how is the
notation font created during LilyPond's build process? I think this is
what you'll want to go for first, as a basis to shape a project
description.
I assume that Werner Lemberg and Abraham Lee will have to say some more
on the technical parts of this project
Best wishes
Urs
Any help would be appreciated! I am really excited about working on
LillyPond!
Thank you,
Matthew Sedam
