Re: Hint: custom music symbols

[Bertalan Fodor]

Well, I've just found in the manual how to create custom markups. So I 
attach here the hauptstimme.
What do you think, would it be practical if users published their own 
postscript markup creations in a way like this? Or should they really go 
into the fonts? And have their own commands? Symbol contribution would 
be very good. What is the preferred way for this?
