I'm a bit at a loss here: \displayLilyMusic demonstrates that no pitches have been filled in (like it would with q chord repeats) but that's not much of an example. And for anything occuring in a score, the pitches will be there. One could do something like \relative { c'4 c' c' } as opposed to \relative { c'4 4 4 } as this makes clear that at least at the time \relative is executed the pitches are not yet available for getting mangled. https://codereview.appspot.com/47850043/ -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
