Hi Nick, Is it possible, in a chord containing a second, to specify which note in the second should appear to the left of the stem and which to the right? The order of the notes doesn't change anything - ie d e gis, and e d gis, both have D to the left and E to the right. My guess is,

Ok, thanks. I tried that, and for a simple example it fixes the problem. But in an actual score with lots of barring indications of various sorts, you get to a situation where a staff runs off the right-hand edge of the page because there are many consecutive bars where a line can't be broken

You could adapt the parser so it stores simple_elements (or whatever they are called) in a variable automatically (say 'r'), and you can repeat things using \r. This could also be the implementation mechanism for default durations. This still needs two characters -- and would it be possible
