IMHO using \partial in the middle of a bar is confusing; I think there should be some other command that sets the length of an individual bar. Do you think it would make sense to invent such a command? I think I can implement one of the following commands: \tweakBarLength s4*5: Set the remaining length of the current bar to 5/4 \oneBar {d d d d d}: output the notes and makes sure the bar is ended after the last one. -- Erik _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
