No, that's just fine. There is enough space for my fingers. It's just the act of trilling 3-4 on adjacent buttons in that direction requires a dexterity that I haven't sufficiently developed. I find it easier on piano keys with their larger resilience and better ways to change the relative finger position/distance due to the long piano key shape. But overall the payoff of the chromatic button system on a portable wind keyboard is still a lot better. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
