Generate special note head shapes: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

When a note head with a special shape cannot easily be generated with graphic markup, ~~PostScript~~ code can be used to generate the shape. This example ~~shows how~~ a parallelogram-shaped note head ~~is generated~~.

When a note head with a special shape cannot easily be generated with graphic markup, a drawing specification for <code>ly:make-stencil</code> can be used to generate the shape. This example gives an example for a parallelogram-shaped note head.

Unfortunately, the available commands in a drawing specification are [https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6874 currently not documented]; in any case, the used <code>path</code> sub-command has the following signature, quite similar to the <code>make-path-stencil</code> Scheme function.

(path <var>thickness</var> <var>command-list</var> <var>line-cap-style</var> <var>line-join-style</var> <var>fill</var>)

The commands in <var>command-list</var> resemble PostScript drawing commands but with arguments after the command name.

~~%% Updaters remark:~~

~~%% For unkown reasons this snippet returns a gs-error, but only, if compiled~~
