Thanks for the reply. I still don’t understand why two \stemNeutral commands work differently to just one. Take out one of them in this example and it looks different:
%%% \version "2.19.82" \relative { g' % default is \stemUp \stemUp <g bes d>8 r8 \acciaccatura { \stemDown <ges' bes>8 } \stemUp <c e g!> r % \stemNeutral resets to default, that is \stemUp \stemNeutral \stemNeutral % this duplicate command is necessary c,16 es ges bes } %%% Thanks, Edward --- Dr. Edward Neeman www.neemanpianoduo.com > On 13 Sep 2018, at 2:52 pm, Federico Bruni <f...@inventati.org> wrote: > > > > Il giorno gio 13 set 2018 alle 5:08, Edward Neeman <edward.nee...@gmail.com> > ha scritto: >> Hello, >> I´ve come across some weird behaviour from the \stemNeutral command.
