Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your advice and your ME. Compiling it out of the box does not give a
result that is better than the untweaked code. It will take some time for me to
become familiar with the possibilities of this \shapeII.
One question: why does it insert an empty bar at the beginning. I can't see
what causes it and how I can get rid of it, which I would like to do.
Could you help me out here?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Robert
