I suggest we mention that <> takes no time in NR 1.5.1 Chorded Notes, but avoid it in the examples. Most of the visible uses of s1*0 in the docs were instigated by me, so I see how to avoid them. The use of s1*0 to label music from \cueDuring s1*0^\markup { \right-align { \tiny "Flute" } } \cueDuring "flute" #UP { g4 bes4 } got some strong negative feedback http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-10/msg00293.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-10/msg00118.html so I'm happy to put these back to use a temporary voice \new CueVoice { \override InstrumentSwitch #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT \set instrumentCueName = "Flute" } \cueDuring "flute" #UP { g4 bes4 } I had complained that this method caused problems when instruments take cues from each other, but these problems are avoided so long as the temporary voice is explicitly created and finished. The uses to finish spanners after the last note, { e'2\p\< d'\> s1*0\! } can also be handled with a temporary voice << { e'2 d'! } { s2\p\< s4\> s8. s16\! } >> Other uses are simlarly avoided with parallel voices.

In the documentation, <> is more consistent with <c e g>, as you already concluded. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
