I've mostly seen complaints that the music takes too much space in the mailing list recently. Honestly, do you think it looks crowded? Also, if you add a one or two more bars, the music will be distributed over three systems intstead of two, i.e. when you have typeset the full piece, the spacing will look even better then when you just have the first bars. If you want everything typeset in larger size, just do \input "paper23.ly". If you want to keep the current size of the note heads and height of the staves, but get wider horizontal spacing, there are some parameters that can be adjusted but it's often difficult to get a result that looks good. Look for SpacingSpanner in the "Index of Internals" of the on-line manual to find documentation of these properties. However, note that some of these parameters are not forward compatible and since the next stable release 1.6.0 is expected to arrive soon, it may not be worth the effort to find out. Yet another possibility is to manually insert \break commands where you want line breaks (note that they only work at bar lines). > * I read in the docu that bracket-pedaling is not supported.

There is usually a new development version every week or so, but the latest versions haven't had any major bugs that I know of, so you don't have to stay on the bleeding edge all the time. Also, there shouldn't be much of a difference to the coming 1.6.x release. /Mats _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
