Definitely, current output is wrong. But as i said, i'm not sure if it's worth bothering as ties are screwed in general. > What's important is to figure out why this change is happening.

Something like this: http://lilypond-stuff.1065243.n5.nabble.com/file/n5705597/magnetic_skylines_-_padding.pdf (i.e. there would be only one setting, which would affect both the padding and magnetism of the skylines)? I think it might be a good idea. cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
