Universal Notation Styles

Thomas Richter edited this page Feb 16, 2026 · 2 revisions

These notation styles are available in all tunings. They do not define any accidentals, only the special symbols (default, leftparen, rightparen), so that the default accidental is drawn for each alteration.

Style default leftparen rightparen
void Nothing (empty markup) #xE26A #xE26B
alteration Alteration value such as alteration example "(" ")"
alteration-slash Alteration value such as alteration-slash example "(" ")"
step Step of the alteration (integer) "(" ")"

The special symbols of void are also defined in every predefined notation style.

Alteration values are drawn with the command \ekmelic-fraction-small, with a horizontal or diagonal bar.

alteration, alteration-slash, and step use the text font selected in LilyPond, not the font selected in Ekmelily.

See the example numeric which resembles alteration.
