It changes the audible pitch _along_ with the written pitch. At least if we are talking 2.17.13 or later (cf issue 754 in the tracker <URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=754>). The behavior before that was plain nuts. There were usage patterns based on this behavior, but nobody really understood why they worked, and when and how they broke down. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
