Re: microtones for makkam music notation

[Adam Good]

Hi Dimitris,

You are welcome to get get in touch with me in regards to using  
Lilypond to notate Turkish makam music. I'm very busy with it these  
days notating Peşrevs and Saz Semaisis and some vocal repertoire  
though i hope to do more of that soon.

All key sigs for any makams are possible, especially with my handy- 
dandy include file. Technically I suppose Turkish makam theory and  
notation are supported while Arabic maqam notation is not. But all  
accidental characters for basic Arabic notion already existed in  
Lilypond even before Han-Wen went to work on the Turkish stuff.

Probably it's just handy for me to send you some examples and you  
take it from there but do keep in touch, it's nice to know that there  
are others out there that are interested!

also it's very nice you suggest it, you are welcome to contribute  
financially to the project. It's already paid for but I can put you  
in touch with the guy who fronted the most. He's a very good friend  
of mine and actually I'm living on his couch this week in Vienna.

I think you'll be very pleased with how Lilypond is working for this  
music.

Hope to hear from you,

Adam Good
