It sounds like you just admitted that the spacing out of feather beamed duration notes is not always going to work correctly, but the durations themselves WILL. Well, according to Gould, it's pretty obvious that feather beams need to be spaced out according to the tempo of the feathers, always. So, there's no way in LilyPond as of today function wise that simply put makes feather beams spaced out correctly according to standard engraving rules. Wow. I would hope beg love for someone to write a function that simply put spaced out notes according to the speed of the feathers. Finale Sibelius do this for years now. Hack yes but doable every time it works. What's LilyPond work around for this? Assume you want to engrave correctly and have your feather beams spaced out as they slow or speeden up, how can you do it? manually tweak space between notes it seems? Yikes :)) Do you think it's even possible to write a function to automatically space according to the feather beam length and duration? -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
