I agree with the idea of a context property, but it would switch between the current default (alignment by Staff always) and a new default which respects Gould's recommendations, which apply to more than rests. An alignment by voice would also be used if the dotted quarter rest in Kieren's image were replaced by a dotted note or notes. Additionally, by Gould's recommendation, the dots should align in cases where the voices have single notes (as in my counterexample above). -David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
