This is _precisely_ why we need clear feature requests, and why we shouldn't start discussing the technical details until the request is clear. :( Joseph pointed out a place in Kurt Stone's book which explicitly recommend arrowed accidentals, and shows the difference between natural+1/4 and sharp-1/4. That is the starting point -- please accept the assumption that these are *not* the same. (or reserve judgement, and wait a few days until we have some scans of the notation in question) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
