No disagreement from myself with that, but you might want to look at <URL:http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2010-09/msg00455.html> and surroundings. In my opinion, that does not make sense since within a cadenza, you don't even know where the current beats synchronize and often the given note durations are approximate, a cadenza usually allowing for heavy rubato. Of course, that's partly my opinion because of "technicalities" (issue 3633 does not leave any information required for autobeaming). -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
