Are you sure about this? It is incredibly hard to cut diagonal lines with a chisel. As I mentioned half an hour ago this would have hardly any effect in the common cases anyway. And my intent is not to propose a new default, but to initiate some discussion. This should not affect common notatio

Carl, If you look at the video I posted, could you explain how you see using that instrument non along its tooling direction? (Like, "diagonally" wrt cutting edge at the tip) seemd to me it would be very hard to get a straight line doing so... L On Fri, 25 Mar 2022, 13:52 Carl Sorensen, wrote:

Hello all, @Abraham: In fact this is not done at scheme level here, but at C++ level. There reason is that we do not want to change the value of the thickness, but for Lilypond to think about this thickness in a more natural way. Also this example already handles the beam distance. For some rea

Sorry, forgot to say: instead of correcting with 1/cos(\theta) I wonder if correcting with 1/cos(\theta/2) would be an idea? sl2 = sl / (1+sqrt(1+sl*sl)) // tan(\theta/2) th *= sqrt(1+sl2*sl2) HTH L On Fri, Mar 25, 2022 at 9:35 AM Luca Fascione wrote: > This video shows Hans Kuehner at work >

This video shows Hans Kuehner at work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvyoKdW-Big at 4m36 shows beams being engraved, he appears to keep the instrument orthogonal to the line direction, which makes Valentin's formula appropriate to capture this process. (I love it when it goes "What happens when
