Why on earth would you want to do that. ;) You might like to take a look at Valentin's function here (though it uses separate voices): http://repo.or.cz/w/opera_libre.git?a=blob;f=definitions/functions.ly;hb=86fde82d901b42d33ed736d802f9d5174b2be36a#l306 > Questions: > 1.

[Obviously the > sounding pitch adjustment should have no effect on the timing of the chord.] It's probably the only way. :) > 3. How can I turn off the stem of the sounding pitch? [n.b.

You can change the length of a stem by overriding 'length, but you'd need to be careful about stem direction because negative values will be required, and you won't be able to start a stem on the parenthesized note: \stemUp \once \override ParenthesesItem #'font-size = #-1 \once \override Stem #'length = #-4 <c' f'\harmonic \tweak #'font-size #-2 \tweak #'duration-log #4 \parenthesize c''' >8 Regards, Neil _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
