Yes I got it but both ways are like a hack. It would be so much better and logical if lilypond would allow to enter individual duration for each note of a chord. This would deserve to be added to the doc. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

You've made the whole thing look like a quarter-note to Lilypond, but persuaded it to show *you* the top note as a half-note. As far as Lilypond is concerned, it's still a quarter note but printed "wrongly" so it looks like a half-note. It still only occupies the time duration of a quarter note, so the bar would be missing a quarter note without the skip. Marc's suggestion is to do it the other way around and make the whole thing look to Lilypond like a half-note, so the timing is all just fine, but tell it to print the /lower/ notes "wrongly" so they look like quarter-notes. Does that make it clearer? -- Tim Rowe _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
