Thanks for the samples. Basically all of them (except in the Franz Strauss Notturno) look as if the breathing marks were added to the already engraved plates... Honestly, I think that this is ugly and not good engraving. However, it clearly shows that this symbol can be positioned exactly on the bar if necessary :-) Werner _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
