You know, if Frescobaldi development weren't apparently dead (no more commits in the repository since October 1 and submitted trivial patches get dropped on the floor), it would be worthwhile to make Frescobaldi decide "chord-or-not" based on the overlap in duration. That works pretty well with the Emacs input mode I did. But why bother when no patch is getting accepted any more? -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
