The question whether to: - use unchanged flags and lengthen the stem to make room for these flags or - compress the flags and fit them on shorter stems is whole another issue :) Now i only wanted to know the answer to the question "For a *given* stem length that is not subject to change (and is smaller than regular), what shall we do with the flag attached?". i understand that your answer to this particular question is "compress the flag" in case of downstem notes :) What about upstem notes? In case of upstem notes the flag isn't colliding with notehead, but it overhangs in an - imo - unpleasant way... cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
