Re: Custom Noteheads

[Mats Bengtsson]

I'm afraid you have to dig into the source code yourself.
Such a project would involve several steps: designing the
font symbols for the noteheads or finding an existing font
that contains the symbols, writing a replacement or complement
to Note_head::print (in C++ or Scheme) and the corresponding
output functions in scm/output-*.scm, among others.
