Can this be correct? Isn't this too Yep. > small in tight situations? Note heads might (almost) touch... In tight situations, the rods take over the spacing. I think there is a small threshold that makes sure they don't touch. > IMHO, this should be configurable. You could look into the Note_spacing class, which could decide to add some more fixed width if the left side is a dotted note, or perhaps scale up the fixed width for notes longer than 1/8th. (If you do anything, please make sure it does the right thing for polyphonic situations too.) I am not sure if you should use durations rather than dottedness. Should a dotted 64th need a lot of space to accomodate for the dot, or should it be treated like a very short note? -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
