Hi Reggie, well, my "solution" was that the client changed his mind and didn't want a ritardando there, so I did away with them.
But no, I've never found a good way to calculate feathered beams (nor how to space them properly to match their changing duration values). This seems like something Lily could do really well, but I don't think the tool has been really developed. Cheers, A On Sat, Dec 15, 2018 at 8:02 PM Reggie <reegist...@gmail.com> wrote: > N.
