I should think that the problem with avoiding a bar line would be that if you have a continuous off-beat grouping, it would add a visual accentuation to those beams that are trying to avoid the bar line. Since one point of off-beat groupings is to basically _ignore_ the bar line in execution, singling out the cross-bar beams visually is not likely to help the performer. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
