Re: Microtonal Helmholtz-Ellis notation in Lilypond: fine-tuning

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Graham,
absolutely, I would like to define a list of notenames, for e.g. pitches that are about 15cents lower, But I have no idea how to do it, when I use the HE-font for the accidentals.
Off course, I had a look in makam.ly 
and I found there
makamGlyphs = #`((1 . "accidentals.doublesharp")
       (8/9 . "accidentals.sharp.slashslashslash.stemstem")
      )
But how could I define a "Helmholtz-Glyph"?

Dear Graham,
in the meantime I found out, where I have to install the font on my kubuntu
machine.

That's good.

I was able to try out the example.
There is one not convincing for me:
The default accidental is an natural. But I would like to use fis and ges as
before.

Aren't these two different problems?  You can use a different glyph for naturals by changing one of the tables.

Wouldnt it a possibilitie to define new pitch-names, like it has been done
in the makam.ly?
But how can this be done?

Yes, absolutely.  There should be a list of pitch names in the code you're using.  All you so is change them.
