Well, that's indeed amazingly ugly example. I apologize if my email sounded unfriedndly and/or disparaging.

I'll report any problematic skyline case if i encounter one. all the best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
