\featherDurations changes durations, nothing more!! It does not change spacing on it's own. The changed spacing is more a side-effect. Doing note-spacing is a very involved process, durations are only one element of the calculation. So I ensure you \featherDuarations will _always_ affect the _durations_ of it's argument, though, whether the resulting spacing is really what you desire? Probably/likely/sometimes not. > I wouldn't even know how to make this function besides. Sorry. Well, there are some good coders on the list ;) Not sure, if I'll have the time to give it a try ...
