Well, one _could_ write what is now c( d)( e) as (c ()d e) instead of (c (d) e) by attaching the post-event ) to the stand-alone-event ( with zero duration instead of the stand-alone-event d. You don't want to hear me voice my opinion on that, however. I don't think we should turn )( and () into different things, so both of those belong on the same side of a note event. The case for slurs and beams is also somewhat more fuzzy than that for dynamics: even though they don't actually attach to individual notes (like articulations inside of a chord can), they are not really independent from notes and their note columns, and you would not place them with spacer rests or have a separate context for them. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
