Is it better to overwrite the time signature stencil and use \time 4/2 (if yes, how?) or do it like this: \version "2.18.2" \relative c'' \scaleDurations 1/2 { \time 2/2 r2 g g g | f f g b | b a b1 } Cheers, Joram _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
