Yes, it is good that Lilypond aligns horizontally the main note columns, as opposed to the suspended note-heads. Maybe you would like to have the suspended whole-note-heads always to the right of the main note column. Right now, LilyPond, suspends a whole-note head on the same side as she would suspend it in a stemmed chord of the same pitches. This is consistent, but maybe this particular consistency is not helpful to the reader. > However, i'm unsure about the unequal measure length in that example. Lilypond tries to keep consistent space from the /main/ column of note heads to the end of the measure. The extra space given to a suspended note-head causes the measure to be longer; so the patch I proposed for issue 1779 makes these measures equal length. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
