Just a couple of ideas for a bit of syntactic sugar: After having entered a funky piece with lots of big, tied chords, I started wondering... If a tie cannot connect notes with different pitch, then why do you have to repeat the pitch when entering? r4. <a8 cis' e' fis' b'>~4~16 <a8 cis' e'> <h16 d' fis' a'>~4 is much nicer that r4. <a8 cis' e' fis' b'>~<a4 cis' e' fis' b'>~<a16 cis' e' fis' b'> <a8 cis' e'> <h16 d' fis' a'>~<h4 d' fis' a'> :-) I sat with my nose in Lily as one of my fellow musicians asked me if he could get a draft printout of what I had made so far? "Sure!", I answered. ly2dvi phynky.ly ARGH! the screen is suddenly flooded with Bar Check Warnings... How about adding a "panic"-option filling the measure with spaces (or even better: lightning-symbols) every-time a Bar Check Mismatch is encountered? So that you could get some sort of sensible output even from a faulty source. -Rune _______________________________________________ Gnu-music-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-music-discuss
