Thanks for that suggestion. Do you know where I can get the gnome backend, or do I just need to download the earlier version of Lilypond? However, I think there is a more general issue here about graphical notation in scores. I'm using various bits of graphics in this piece which aren't

Thanks Mats for the information and reference. That helps a fair bit. It would be nice to get the no-trespass zone of the sharp to move away from its center a bit - but all in due time, I suppose. Manual tweakage, here I come! (gotta love it!) On 8/15/07, Mats Bengtsson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Citando Vivian Barty-Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm using various bits of graphics in this piece which aren't natively supported by Lilypond. Although I could add them all as EPS markups, the amount of time I would spend adjusting the positions of them makes it a lot easier to do it this way.

Hi, I have started using lilypond successfully and like it a lot, but I have run into one problem which I cannot figure out for the life of me. I entered feathered beams for one beat, and now all the music I enter on that staff from that point on is feathered. I am using version 2.10.25 on Mac
