I'm very happy with the look of the arpeggios on the 2.11 branch; my suspicion is that the problem with the dynamics is persisting because the dynamics part is not associated with the parts that are responsible for drawing the bar lines. Would you consider the 2.11 branch stable enough for general daily use? >> This relates to dynamics in the Piano centered dynamics template > >I think this template has been (unofficially) deprecated: there are >better ways of accomplishing the same thing. Really? What are these ways? I'm all for that, as I always thought it was strange that one needed such a complex set of tweaks to do piano music in what is the style for the vast majority of piano pieces; plus, see my suspicion above about why the dynamics overlap the bar lines. >> Hairpins and dynamic marks tend to brush right up against >> or even overlap (the mp mark is one of the worst) the bar lines. > >True, but unfortunately I don't know of an automated way to solve >that problem -- I simply manually tweak each "problem child". >Maybe someone else out there has the "silver bullet" we're both >wanting to find?? After more investigation last night I found the manual method of tweaking each one; if no other solution is forthcoming, I'll go ahead and do this for each problem dynamic. Luckily it's a set of short pieces. > >Hope this helps! >Kieren. Thanks!
