Hi list,
this is somewhat OT, but only slightly, I think.
In need to insert music glyphs in continuous text (for writing a
revision report) I successfully found out how to insert glyphs from
LilyPond's Emmentaler font in (Xe)LaTeX documents and wrote a few first
commands (thanks to Google and Werner Lemberg).
As this may well be useful for anybody writing about music with LaTeX, I
decided to make a package out of it. The project is hosted at
https://github.com/uliska/lilyglyphs.
The package is already useable, but there will be some syntax changes in
the near future, so I'd rather not use it extensively (you can see the
issues in the tracker to get an impression).
For now there are a few predefined commands for glyphs, and a generic
command to access glyphs by their name, so anything should already be
possible.
In the download section there is a pdf that documents how it works so
far and also gives a good impression on what it looks like.
You may either clone into the repository or download the package archive
from the download page. So far there aren't any useful installation
instructions, but I think it should work. You can place a symlink to the
.sty file and a symlink to the definitions/ directory in the directory
of your .tex file, and it should work.
I will be away for two weeks but would be happy to find a few
collaborators afterwards to join the project.
a) there are a few issues that I would prefer not to decide alone but
rather discuss,
b) a few issues with LaTeX programming where I'd appreciate some help, and
c) the ultimate goal is to cover the whole glyph set, but this will only
become reality with several contributors. I will happily work on glyphs
that I use personally, but there are so many things I won't use ...
I hope this is on interest to anybody. Please feel free to forward this
message to whom it may concern ...
Best
Urs
