The rules in Ross' books are guidelines, and they certainly don't cover all the cases. LilyPond does not use a hardcoded set of rules; rather, it tries to score different configurations, and pick the one with the best scores. This is a technique that works much better than hardcoding different rules, but in some cases there are small divergences with the 'prescribed' quants. We even have a regtest for it, see input/regression/beam-quant-standard.ly It might be possible to tune the scoring parameters to copy Ross exactly, but probably some other configurations will fall over. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - han...@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
