I just want to obtain the correct beaming behaviour in vocal music (like in the sample image i sent) without getting mad beaming and "melismaing" by hand. The rule should simply be "Break beam on every new syllable". Since lilypond implemented the auto-melisma using dashes in lyrics context, i think this little auto-unbeaming rule will improve much output fidelity to traditional engraving. -Traditional scores *always* separate each syllable in beaming -two syllables *never* are beamed together. -beaming is used only on the same syllable Yeah, i said the same thing in 3 different ways.... Now it's clear, i hope ;-) Marco _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
