Brilliant, Paul. It isn't as easy as I'd hoped, but this works and is really minimally difficult for me to use. I used 1.25 and -1.25 as values and it is certainly close enough that I can't complain. This helps a *lot*. Best regards, Arle On 2012 Dec 11, at 21:05 , Paul Morris wrote: > Hi Arl

I've been looking for how to tweak the direction of noteheads within chords. I've got a few instances where Lilypond’s default isn't as clear as when I flip the direction of some of the noteheads. I've searched the repository and tried various tweaks using direction, but nothing seems to matter.
