Thank you for this insight, David. I revised NR 1.2.2, and I didn't catch that difference. One who is not a lilypond developer might not understand the difference between s (which is a lilypond note that produces no output) and \skip (which is a not a lilypond note, and hence does not reset the default duration). A doc change has been pushed to git. Thanks, Carl _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
