sharps and flats and Euler (was Re: typo in math-tex)

["Adam Lindsay" <atl@comp.lancs.ac.uk>]

I believe Adam Lindsay said this around Wed, 8 Jan 2003:

The answer to that last one is \showfont[eurm10], of course. For some
reason I couldn't remember getting that to work, before.

In case anyone is interested, I will document my problem. Because I'm
using Euler as my math font, I can't get at many symbols, including the
musical ones. With my current font definitions, I didn't get much joy
with cmr acting as a fallback in math.

Not really married to the idea of using math mode for music anyway, I do
this instead:
\definesymbol [Flat] [\getglyph{pxmi}{\char91}] % txmi (times) or cmmi10
(cmr) 
\definesymbol [Natural] [\getglyph{pxmi}{\char92}] %can be substituted
for pxmi
\definesymbol [Sharp] [\getglyph{pxmi}{\char93}]
\def\Flat{\symbol[Flat]}
\def\Natural{\symbol[Natural]}
\def\Sharp{\symbol[Sharp]}

Are there any better ways of doing this?


Now, with Euler math, I'm still not getting the nice euler numerals when
in math mode... I suspect I'm not picking up the math characters in math-
eul, but I have no idea of how to load those definitions. Any clues on
that one?  

Cheers,
adam
