• Show HN: TuneType – a font that has (guitar) chords embedded as ligatures

  > since its width was set to 0 Is this totally necessary? It might be. I don't know much about font programming. If the values have to be hard-coded. If you can get me a contact info, I could send you the master list of chords..

• Show HN: TuneType – a font that has (guitar) chords embedded as ligatures

  So I need to pack the font itself with both the A and the Am6 ligatures… I think a more “advanced” use case like the one you described can be addressed by something like https://lilypond.org. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Make measure width smaller?

  At lilypond.org I found some tips, but they all were for the complete score. I don't want my score to be compressed or have smaller notes as I'm rewriting the music because the original notes are to small for me. Source: 6 months ago

• Sheet Music Online for Chinese Songs?

  I was wondering if there were any Chinese or Taiwanese sites that I could use to find sheet music, preferably piano and/or guitar, of Chinese/Taiwanese songs. Similar to musicnotes.com, but for CN/TW music because that site caters mostly to Western music, and I'm trying to find sheet music specifically for songs by 五月天. It does not matter to me if I need to pay for the sheet music, like with musicnotes.com, or if... Source: about 1 year ago
