Can you do the same with Handel's For unto us a child is born or Mozart's Kyrie from Requiem d-moll? ;) Personally i find typing Lily input a bit cumbersome. I mean, the keys used are scattered all over the keyboard (and shift is frequently needed); i've been thinking about devising a set of shortcuts to ease this, but now i'm too busy with Lily itself... I have some draft though, maybe it would be useful for Frescobaldi? cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
