Hi Abraham, thanks for your reply.
\version "2.19.14" \transpose c c' { % default (Century Schoolbook) \tuplet 3/2 { a8 a a } % bold (Century Schoolbook) - closer to Bravura \override TupletNumber.font-series = #'bold \tuplet 3/2 { a a a } % from Emmentaler (bold numbers) - your suggestion \override TupletNumber.font-encoding = #'fetaText \override TupletNumber.font-size = #-4 \tuplet 3/2 { a a a } % tuplet number from Bravura (U+E883) - what I wanted! \override TupletNumber.font-name = "Bravura" \override TupletNumber.font-size = #3.5 \override TupletNumber #'text = "ξΆƒ" \tuplet 3/2 { a a a } } This example shows four different tuplet numbers. The last one is what I wanted: the dedicated Bravura tuplet number on code point U+E883. To achieve that I had to put Bravura in /usr/share/fonts. I was wondering why installing it under Ubuntu does not work and copying into /usr/share/fonts of the LP directory structure does not work, neither.
A real solution would be if this number would be calculated automatically. But I couldn't get it to work: \override TupletNumber #'text = #(integer->char (+ 59520 (tuplet-number::calc-denominator-text))) I am trying that out, because it would help to get a consistent style for the new fonts including the text font part.
Just to share what I found yesterday: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/DubielPlain But I am not really convinced (there are some irregularities e.g. in the letter a).2) Do you or does anyone know text fonts similar to the ones used in many old scores, like here: http://javanese.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/7/7f/IMSLP00115-Chopin_-_Ballade_No1.pdfI've often looked for some nice fonts like those. A nice one I've found is called "OldStandardTT". It's free and supports an extensive character set including Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/old-standard-TT
