Re: Defining custom symbols

[Robert Hickman]

Second thought: (see my previous, sorry about double posting).

What are the risks of integrating lillypond into a CMS from a security perspective, does it allow you to run shell commands for instance? I will not be exposing this publicly, just to the admin interface only I use. I like to know what exploits anything I use could expose howeaver.

Yes that looks good thanks. I asked about the font because I asked Grey if he was aware of symbols for lillypond. He handn't heard of LP but mentioned the font and asked if it was compatible.

Hi Robert,

I cloned the git repository and compiled the Larsen symbols. I all works beautifully with the current highest revision of lilypond 2.19.81, even though the code is somewhat old.

Here's the result of the test code attached as an image.

The code fr this is not hard to understand:

====

\version "2.19.81"
\include "larsen-symbols.ily"

  \time 2/4 
  {
   
    b'2\cut
    b'\strike
    b'\slideUp
    b'\slideDown
    b'\longRoll
    b'\shortRoll
    b'\longDoubleCutRoll
    b'\shortDoubleCutRoll
    b'\crann
    b'\shortCrann
    b'\trill
    b'\singleTrill
    b'\shake
    b'\breathe
  }

I'd really recommend you go with lilypond as it is incredibly powerful - witness this extension as an example - and it does not take long to learn the basics.

Yes that's what I was looking for, thanks.

I've also found that Grey has published a font with his symbols, how does one approach integrating fonts? Chris Throup, who  is linked to from the page  Andrew shared linked  to, suggests this is difficult to do.

Hi Robert,

Is this of any use?

If you need adjustments to anything I can help.

[Lilypond can be made to do pretty much anything as it is powerfully extensible,]
