Huh. We are working at cross-purposes then. I don't write scores as an intellectual challenge. I rather tend to do scorish stuff on the list because I think it should be easy to prove to people that they are trivial to do with LilyPond. Then LilyPond trips me up, and I end up dragging it kicking and screaming to the state where it would have been easy to do. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
