Quite interesting... But doesn't that make some collisions more likely to happen? Anyway, here's a snippet to demonstrate your point (tell me if my explanations aren't correct). http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=387 Cheers, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
