Curse you! I got really excited when I read the first line, since it seemed like a perfect solution. Then you go and wreck everything. You broke my heart. *sniff* *sniff* I'm going to go listen to country music now. Screw you classical people with your math. (or "maths" as they say here) Cheers, - Graham "my cat left me for a guy with a bigger hard drive" PS: we could use a property to indicate the divisions of the octave. Also, most of lilypond already assumes 12 notes per octave, so this wouldn't be a huge (additional) limitation. OTOH, most people writing chords just think/say "add a 7th", not "add an 11th". Or rather, when they say "add an 11th", they're not talking about semitones.
