Oh, you already did that. In order to have as little moving pieces as possible, put the get_property() and the conversion in head_positions(), and leave the callers alone. We can later decide to drop head_positions(), but it's not really necessary. There are many such C++ functions that are shortcuts for a get_property, eg., Beam::get_beam_thickness -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - han...@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
