Graham,
I have an announcement to make: I'm an idiot.
Thanks! That saves us from having to say it… ;-)
In my defense, nobody *else* pointed out that \tweak was *invented* for customizing engraving of the next object in the input stream, as opposed to \override.
I think everyone else — including me — has (idiotically) forgotten about the \tweak command during this thread!
The following lines fix the "how do I backwards in time" problem: 'tweaks (list (cons (quote X-offset) -1))
I tip my hat to you, sir: an elegant solution! Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
