Lemme know :) > The way it is right now is just much worse then a symbol collision! Any hackish solution would be better then this. Bu of course a good solution without any collision would be just perfect. This would be a great time saver for regular piano writing, imagine a piece full of those chords! I don't have the skills to code it, but let me know if I can help somehow. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
