Well, it's easy enough: store the exact times, then adjust the estimated musical durations as the user enters correct durations and/or bar lines. If you integrate a human into the process interactively, the task becomes less complex and followup errors are only temporary. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
