I'm not certain if this has come up before, but you can see a different kind of caesura in input/test/divisiones.ly The kind of caesura that Daniel and I are more familiar with is a bigger version of that symbol, and doubled (two slashes). Maybe some people started putting two of them together in order to make it easier to see the difference between a virgula and a caesura? There's probably some interesting history in the evolution of that mark. :) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
