Thanks to all for the replies, I still think that lily is fantastic (more: I' m forced to use it because of the way I compose) but when you have to tweak some properties it's complicated to access to information. I'm guessing that my request may be not so uncommon. Can I suggest to add it to m

Questions about Jazz chords

Ok Mats, I read it before writing to the list, but it would have help if the manual provided an example. I'd like to add a snippet on the topic to LSR, so I don't want to be imprecise. If I have: \version "2.6.4" { \once \override Score.DynamicLineSpanner #'padding = #1.5 a'4 \pp \once \ove
