But I haven't yet spent the time to figure out how to do it. If you do come up with a working method, post back to the list and I'll work the examples into the proportional notation HOWTO that I'm just about to get started. -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
