+1. It doesn't matter what Sibelius does nor what it doesn't do; its behaviour don't represent "standard notation practice". However, similarly to Werner, i wouldn't call this a "lilypond error", but a feature request. Anyway, i'm not totally sure if this is a cross-staff issue - cross-staffness may be just a factor. It seems to me that the cause of the problem is in LilyPond not assigning multiple simultaneous voices as upper and lower automatically; and as far as i see it will be difficult to correctly design what such automatic behaviour should be. best, Janek _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
