That is how I join parts together with time changes, and I didn't think I was being capricious. If I put the time changes in each part, and make a mistake and forget a measure, the time changes early on all the parts and its harder to see which part has the missing measure. Slip jig time is slightly awkward, but it works. mandolin = {R2.*4 R4.*12 %{4 measures of 3 beats %} } conductor = {\time 6/8 s2.*4 \time 9/8 s4.*12} \new Staff <<\conductor \mandolin >> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
