Squaring up the lines doesn't help. Having the lines rounded works for everything. The rounded lines were proposed as a portential error when we do stop/start at the same time. I don't think they are an error. > > 2) Even if I did have a 'gap' between the lines why does it matter if > they are rounded? Because in real engraving, all the outside corners are rounded. It's a characteristic of the tools used for engraving. My point is only that this simultaneous start/stop should not be used as a justification to eliminate rounding. --- OK I see (although I think we got off topic there) so why not make stop\start, as an explicit command, rounded; and whatever you call 'end of barlines' that are either \break-ed or whatever LP does when it starts a 'new line' squared?
