Not precisely. I'm suggesting that if you feel the urge to add \bar "||" to the example to let people figure out where they're looking in the output, then 1. add some simple melody or a sequence of notes. 2. if you need to make sure something starts at the beginning of a line, use \break 3. (should be first) consider whether your example needs to be that complicated in the first place. In the example I was looking at, #3 didn't qualify, so I didn't mention it in the original email, although I should have. > Speaking of simple melodies, you might disapprove of my latest doc addition > :-) What, you mean your ridiculously complicated example with es and is? Which doesn't even abide by the doc policy of having one bar per line, or failing that absolutely having a duration at the beginning of each line?
