It's still a problem for me. But I now see it too is related to the bug you mentioned ("brace being too big"). -- Albert Einstein: Phantasie ist wichtiger als Wissen, denn Wissen ist begrenzt. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
