Re: Noteheads slightly too large

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Paul,

Finally, after all types of trials, using 'stencil-scale is definitely the
best workaround to reach an acceptable note head output:

#(set-global-staff-size 180)  %% <= below scales and offsets were set at
#(set-global-staff-size 300) and controlled at zoom #2000
#(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)

\layout {
  indent = 0
  \context {
    \Staff
    \omit Clef
    \omit TimeSignature
  }
}

\relative {
  \override NoteHead.stencil =
    #(lambda (grob) (ly:stencil-scale (ly:note-head::print grob) 0.980
0.924))
  \override NoteHead.extra-offset = #'(0 . -.001)
  d'4*1/2 f2*1/4 a1*1/8 c\breve*1/16 e\longa*1/32
}

Cheers,
Pierre
