OK, that seems to have got it. This detail seems not to be mentioned in the NR as obviously as it might be. It does mention that proportionalNotationDuration "lives in the Score context," but still it escaped me that I should include "Score." in the \set command. It would help to have one example of switching between classical and proportional spacing. All the examples in that NR section assume that the entire score will be proportional, which is not certain for every score. hjh _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
