To use a metaphor: when you scroll the score horizontally, a note starts playing when you reach its left edge. note how the noteheads are aligned here: \new Staff << \override Score.NoteHead #'style = #'altdefault b'4 d''1 f''\breve >> They are aligned to their "musical moment". Does it make sense? Hmm, i think it would be good to add this explanation to the docs. Any heroes willing to tackle this? > This looks like an improvement to me (if it still works for bar lines).

My rewrite of the self-alignment interface (which is waiting on my desk for a year now....) would make adjusting this easier. Maybe you'd like to finish my work? best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
