It does work, but you probably don't like its result. At any rate, I like bf8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 better. Particularly useful for percussion, but generally useful for rhythmical patterns on the same pitch/chord. It doesn't save all that much typing but the result tends to be clearer to read when leaving off the pitches rather than the lengths. I think it's 2.19 stuff, though. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
