BeatLength and BeatGrouping

I'm looking at the 2.13.3 documentation on this in the NR (starts on p.47 of the PDF manual), and the comments against the the second example don't seem to match the output. The comment says "No auto-beaming is defined for 12/16", yet the output has the 16th notes beamed in four groups of three

Re: Conditionally displaying stems in void notation

Isn't it simplest to first use the trick described in http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=305 to modify the duration of each note to the double, and then alter the note heads. This should give you correct stems. /Mats Rodolfo Zitellini wrote: Hello list, I am trying to typeset a piece in

Re: Relative thickness of PianoStaff Braces

The braces are typeset using symbols from a special font, so you cannot adjust the width and height separately. As far as I can see from the Metafont code generating these font symbols, the relationship between width and height is fixed, which may not be the best choice as you have pointed out.

Re: Relative thickness of PianoStaff Braces

Hello again, I've tried fooling around with the various properties of SystemStartBrace, and I can't seem to find a way to make all braces the same width, regardless of the height of the brace. (The problem is really exaggerated when there are three staves in a PianoStaff-- the brace looks

Conditionally displaying stems in void notation

Hello list, I am trying to typeset a piece in 3/2 void notation. I entered all the music in 3/4 and altered the noteheads with #'duration-log = 1 to make all notes white. This fakes 3/2 ok, but all notes bigger than a minim (in 3/2) now have stem, which requires me to turn on and off all the stems
