It didn't really work out for me because MIDI was still entirely generated, making proofhearing harder. And setting this property is generally more work than commenting out some parts. I couldn't switch it off from the very beginning of the piece either... But didn't even try too hard, though commenting also has a drawback: %{ %} is not nestable. You just can't win all the time. I still think the skipTypesetting property would be useful if it could consistently suppress typesetting of other parallel things, too. If I remember correctly, it fell short on lyrics. -- Feri. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
