thanks for all these clarifications - i think i was confused by the fact that you have pitch | rest | spacer rest | \skip followed by a duration ( 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 … or even \longa or \breve) which itself can be modified with multiplyers or dividers (* | /), from where the "final duration" results! in the case of pitch | rest | spacer rest this "final duration" is picked up by the following note and not the "primary duration". -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/s-or-%5Cskip---bug-or-expectable-behaviour--tp27412933p27444513.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
