Re: using makam.ly

[Jay Hamilton]

I'm out of this loop in terms of what you all are talking about but

1] I have no idea where it says "see section etc...." as it does not say that 
in the snippet rep.

2] I still don't know what or where
     initialization file ly/makam.ly for details of pitch names and alterations.
      is or even means  is this something buried in the program files?  

Ok I found it but that was not clear.  I would suggest instead putting in the 
see section 4. etc in LM and follow the directions.

3] So at the least could a "see section...." somewhere in the snippet for slow 
people like me?  And since I'm looking I just did a search in the 2.12. pdf of 
the LM and 'makam' returns no results  even though the manual says that it's 
there.  In the section 4.... it's there but it did not come up from the search 
function.

I found the snippet for 
\set Staff.keySignature = #`((6 . ,(- KOMA)))
and got it to compile from the snippet however once I used the (I think) same 
setup for a piece I was transcribing the piece won't compile it complains about 
the bes' in the music.
So what is bes called when you use this keySignature  better yet what should I 
be searching for in the manual to answer my own question?
Thanks

I don't think it's actually in the manual, but can be seen when you
examine the makam.ly file (in /usr/share/lilypond/ly/ if you are running
Linux).

I think you need -fk instead of -es (the flat symbol flat is used for
the flat kucuk or -5/9 alteration).
