I asked a technical question and got a whole bunch of "answers" saying I'm stupid to try to achieve that effect. Except for Kieren hinting that it will probably be difficult, there has been *zero* actual discussion about the technical aspects of it. If LilyPond or its community isn't friendly to people who want to experiment with notation, I guess I'm finding that out pretty quickly. -Ken Hi Ken, Just to say, as I believe I was the first to start this (!). Email can be tricky and it's easy to cause unintentional offence. Sorry for any misunderstanding! I didn't mean to imply you're "stupid" to try it, at all. Just as a kindly warning that it might not be the unambiguous notation, and to try to illustrate why. In my opinion sticking to conventions is never a bad idea, unless you're doing something exceptionally unconventional (graphic scores, etc). Good luck, Chris
