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
