Urs was asking about this, but the discussion has moved on to other aspects of the particular problem he was trying to solve. So I thought I would ask once again something which I have often felt I wanted. That is, is there any way of specifying the minimum horizontal distance that should be left between 2 consecutive notes? It would be very useful sometimes to be able to tell Lilypond something like: "Regardless of any other considerations, make sure that the second note is at least 3 staff-spaces to the right of the first note." Can this be done? David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
