There's actually a better hack, just add the following lines to your file, to get the wedge with the \breathe command: \score{ ... \paper{ ... \translator{ \ScoreContext BreathingSign \override #'molecule-callback = #Text_item::brew_molecule BreathingSign \override #'text = #'(music "scripts-upbow") } } } I'd actually suggest to include this "hack" as the default action for \breathe in Lilypond. Maybe with the text set to (music "scripts-rcomma") instead. It'd be easy to add some more alternatives symbols, like a more pronounced comma and a // for ceasuras. /Mats _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
