Ekmelos is a music font compliant with SMuFL.
It includes over 3000 glyphs – clefs, note heads, accidentals,
articulations, ornaments, playing techniques, etc.
The focus is on the numerous accidentals for microtonal music,
particularly for use along with Ekmelily (see
LilyPond Support) which initiated the development of Ekmelos.
The Ekmelos Font Software is a family consisting of four fonts:
Ekmelos
Ekmelos 12-EDO
Ekmelos 24-EDO
Ekmelos 72-EDO
The N-EDO fonts are extracts including mainly accidentals for the
respective EDO, intended for use on Web pages (e.g. with ekmelib)
to reduce the download volume.
… supports a variety of other music symbols:
clefs, time signatures, note heads, rests, flags, articulations,
performance indications, dynamics, etc.
To combine Ekmelily and Esmuflily, add e.g. the following lines
near the top of your LilyPond input file to achieve LilyPond's
standard behaviour, i.e. Dutch note names (default) and
Stein / Couper accidentals for quarter tones (24-EDO).
The first line can be omitted when using the Ekmelos font.
Note:
To make use of a newly installed font in LilyPond prior to 2.24,
its font cache i.e. the folder "~/.lilypond-fonts.cache-2"
(on Windows "%HOMEPATH%\.lilypond-fonts.cache-2")
must be emptied or completely deleted. So at the next execution of
LilyPond this cache will be rebuilt from scratch inlcuding the new font.
