Comment #17 on issue 1752 by address@hidden: redesigning G clef in our Feta font
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1752 Hi guys,as the original designer of the G-clef, I applaud Janek's work, and don't see any reason why we can or should not improve the shape of the current clef. If I had enough time, I would have done it myself. I vote against overrides; we have too many of them, and the difference between the old and new glyph doesnt warrrant another option.
The principle of least surprise does not take into account expectations that come from being accustomed to legacy. Janek is rather correcting a surprise, by making people that are not accustomed to lily not have a WTF moment when they see the clef.
