I don't think so. The purpose of staff changes is to avoid help lines. In particular where they would require systems to be paced further apart. For this, the average is irrelevant, only the total range (top and bottom note lines) is of interest. A staff change is a drastic measure: one will not typically do it unless more than two help lines would otherwise occur. So it is really a matter of the total vertical extent (after considering the signature, so an f flat counts as higher as an e sharp, never mind that its pitch is lower) and not the pitch average. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
