No, that will not be helpful.
Stop and go back to read the tutorial. Pay attention to the
warnings about key signatures and accidentals. The
Many of those words are from bagpipe.ly and related
non-automatically-included files. I'm not certain they *should*
be included in that list.
There are some properties that probably should be included, but
I'd caution anybody to check that those properties really aren't

Hi Patrick,
The voting results are quite inconclusive:
Solid: 4
"Gradients are easier to see, but solids are easier to read": 3
Gradients: 8 (with a different color scheme)
If we interpret the "see/read" option as a cautious vote for
solids, then we almost have a tie. ... oh wait, I didn't cou

In this example:

No note has a printed accidental, but you must still
You're not writing g8 to get a fourth 16th note; you're writing g8
to get an eighth note. Evidently your source material (I haven't
looked at the youtube video myself) has two 16s and one 8th note.
