Snippet: Vertical brace spanning several lyrics lines [addition]

Dear list, I found the snippet: "Vertical brace spanning several lyrics lines" (http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=265 and http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=265). It works perfectly "out of the box" for three lyrics lines as in the snippet, but it took me quite some time to get it to

Further problems. I commented out the Time settings and here's more, this time in the RH (note paired semiquavers in LH here, which would be in sixes). This is now built with revision 35 (the latest). [image: Inline images 1] On 6 January 2016 at 23:59, Chris Yate wrote: >

Do you also have subdivideBeams = ##t somewhere? If so please show the result with both 2.19.28 and .35.. And if that's the case you should maybe send me (privately?) the full piece so I could test with several builds before and after several recent changes. Urs Am 7. Januar 2016 01:16:43
