Notehead size

[amitgur]

Any way I can change the size of the note heads?

There is not an easy way to size noteheads right now -- though certainly for things like cue notes it would be very useful. (Technically, I believe it is not just the noteheads but in fact also beams & stems whose proportion is meant to be reduced in cue notes. This reminds me of Cyril's comment from #407 about ossias, that VexFlow doesn't yet support them well.)

TLDR: there's not an easy way to do this now; there should be. I'm flagging this as a feature request. It may be a while before anyone gets to it since it's still somewhat of an edge case compared to other features in the works.

Hi, any updates on this? Is it currently possible to draw cue notes?

@deemaagog it is. you can even set the scale.

this is how we do it in OSMD:

if (firstNote.IsCueNote) {
    vfnoteStruct.glyph_font_scale = Vex.Flow.DEFAULT_NOTATION_FONT_SCALE * Vex.Flow.GraceNote.SCALE;
    vfnoteStruct.stroke_px = Vex.Flow.GraceNote.LEDGER_LINE_OFFSET;
}

if (gve.parentVoiceEntry.IsGrace || gve.notes[0].sourceNote.IsCueNote) {
    vfnote = new Vex.Flow.GraceNote(vfnoteStruct);
