hi guys..

i'm playing with music font as discribed here:

http://lilypondblog.org/2014/01/smufl-fonts-in-lilypond/
http://lilypondblog.org/2014/09/lilyponds-look-and-feel/

what i would want to try doing is simulating handwritten font by adding 4 or more shapes of same object.

Do you want to prepare an actual font to use instead of Emmentaler, for notation (i.e. not text)?

​
Yes! I have already started working on it and have figure it out how to change the existing font.​

 

what would you suggest to accomplish this?

my raw idea is to add diferent signs in normal, italic, bold, bold-italic combination and then on each new object iterate though there combination.

This has a limitation of only 4 combinations.

Another idea is to add a list of fonts and there go through them.

If you want to create a custom font you could probably override the stencil of the different grobs and replace them with a markup (I think that's what is described in these posts, isn't it?). Then you can place an arbitrary number of additional glyphs in that font and write a function that, say, for a whole note notehead picks a random glyph out of the one at the regular postion and the range of custom glyphs.

​What do you mean a range of custom glyphs. Where would that be? In a font file?​

 

Do you have any idea how to implement this in sheme?

A snippet would be very helpfull.

Sorry, I can't (and don't have the time to look into it). But if you clarify your intention I think it should not be too difficult and there should be people around who can help you.

​Thanks for your fast response.​

 

Thanks.
