I didn't get this, after reading it once or twice, but I saw the following in an e-mail of yours: > Lily assigns an initial space to each note > head (arithmetic_multiplier = 0.9 * \quartwidth;), then increases > that space by a factor (arithmetic_basicspace = 2.;) based on the > ratio of the note length to the shortest note in the measure. And I found that quite clear. If necessary, forward this to the mailing list..." Han-Wen and Jan write the refman, so forward it is :) John
