Alternative breve notes

From LilyPond wiki
Revision as of 18:53, 16 November 2025 by Jean Abou Samra (talk | contribs) (Replace version="2.24.0" with version="2.24" now that the LilyWiki extension supports auto-selecting the latest release in a stable series)

Breve notes are also available with two vertical lines on each side of the notehead instead of one line and in baroque style.

\version "2.24"

\relative c'' {
  \time 4/2
  c\breve | 
  \override Staff.NoteHead.style = #'altdefault
  b\breve
  \override Staff.NoteHead.style = #'baroque
  b\breve
  \revert Staff.NoteHead.style
  a\breve
}
