I hope you'll do the honorable thing, sir, and marry it (Sorry, I couldn't help myself). >From what I've seen, Lilypond seems to do a good job with beam directions, so there have only been a few situations where I would have benefited from _[ or ^]. But I can imagine in some really complicated instances with lots of voices it could be very handy. So yes, I'd certainly be in favor of the whole dusting-off process :) Something else I just though of, is that there isn't a shortcut for setting the direction of stems that aren't beamed. It would be helpful if there were a shortcut you could put after c4 to set the stem direction. Maybe like ^| or _| Thanks, Jonathan > > Regards, > Neil > _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
