I'm still wondering about it. I'm curious whether there is a lot of variation between engraving books and publications in this matter. >> However, i'm unsure about the unequal measure length in that example. > > Lilypond tries to keep consistent space from the /main/ column of note heads > to the end of the measure.

Yes, i'm looking at it and i'm still not sure how i'd like the output to look like. cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
