Replace `qq` as start of appogiatura group #113

Closed ahankinson closed 3 months ago

ahankinson commented 4 months ago

qq is the only double-letter group starter, and can pose some problems with parsing since it's not known, until the second q that it's a group and not a single appogiatura.

Verovio internally replaces instances of qq with Q to help clarify this distinction.

The letter y is available instead, and its use would mean that all of q, g, and y are letters with descenders that are used for grace notes.

So the next action is to replace the appogiatura group letter qq with y.
