Thanks, Joe. I think this may be what Kieren needs. I'm pretty sure he wants to just adjust the length of the hairpin without adjusting the spacing. Carl On 3/17/09 6:40 PM, "Joe Neeman" wrote: > On Tue, 2009-03-17 at 16:47 -0600, Carl D. Sorensen wrote: >> >> >> On 3/17/09 3:48 PM, "Kiere

Hi Carl, One issue that comes up in your proposal is that a 1/16 note column does not take up 1/16 of a whole note column. So exactly what space are you thinking you want? In the perfect scenario, I suppose Lilypond would "Do The Right Thing": 1. If there were another music event at th
