Actually, a rather bad question since once sentence above I essentially stated that there usually _are_ no contexts with different time signature, the time signature being infectious across contexts. > which I am happy to leave up to those working on the low-level code. Well, since I was not even able to phrase a well-working question, my chances on actual low-level code would be worse. >> You can agree however much you want to, but you won't manage to lobby >> any programmer into successfully coding the impossible.

Since it was tactfully being ignored, it seemed to require more emphasis. Otherwise I would likely have been blamed for ignoring users' wishes in spite of them reaching perfect agreement. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
