Re: Pseudo-handwritten font

[Tim McNamara]

There are a couple of peculiar side effects.  I find that using this turns off 
the bar count engraver and it also defeats \improvisationOn resulting in 
regular notes instead of parallelogram note heads.  The easy workaround is to 
use \jazzOff before \improvisationOn.  The appearance of the stems and such is 
different but it's not a huge deal.

I find this to be a very nice addition to the visual palette of LilyPond and 
very friendly for jazz players who are used to "Real Book" style charts.  I 
find the chord names a touch small but that is easily remedied; for someone not 
as old as me and not using an iPad to display charts on the bandstand, the size 
of the chord name font is probably fine.

Thanks for this, Torsten, it is much appreciated.  The music font is very 
readable.

There is a really messy and inelegant way to use the font in the \header block 
using \markup, I have found, but it's pretty ugly coding.  I suppose a Scheme 
function could be created to make the code less ugly but I haven't put any time 
into it.
