I promised myself I wouldn't do this, but I did it anyway. The NoteHedz font contains (among other things) symbols for Shaped Notes, sometimes called fasola or Sacred Harp. Until now, placement of the special symbols had to be done by hand, one note at a time.

It can now be done by an external script (on a web page). This is useful only when the music is finished, just before printing, since the visual modification would not follow any subsequent changes to the music.

In BETA TEST, here's the URL;

http://www.icogitate.com/~ergosum/temporary/nwc2-shapednotes4-notehedz-replacer.htm

The above URL is TEMPORARY, and will probably be removed by September 5, 2005. If successful, I'll send it to the Scriptorium.

HA! I knew you and I had something other than music in common. Compulsive fixer-uppers, that's us :)

It looks good to me BTW.

The necessary stuff is at the Scriptorium now.
