I only meant the list as a starting point. I disagree that you shouldn't use redundant notation. Cadd9 is different from Cadd2 or Csus2. As is C9sus4 and C11. A higher chord extension suggests a different way of voicing the chord. The 2 in there suggests that you want the 2 and 3 or 2 and 1

Hi: This may not be a lilypond issue, but I'm asking the list anyway. I've been asked to provide online samples with smoother beams; the complaint is that the sloped beams are jagged-looking (even though they look fine when they're printed out). Is there a tweak that will make the beams a

Re: Smoothing sloped beams?

2004-03-15 Thread Mats Bengtsson
The Postscript code used to draw the beams, just specifies a rectangle with straight lines between the corners, so the jagged look all depends on what you have done to the file and how you view it. I assume that you refer to what the score looks like when you view a PDF version of it with Acrobat.
