Hi Stefano, I work extensively with a New Complexity School composer whose work I engrave. I disagree with one of his major concepts, which is that the bars should be 3.0 cm wide and represent one second of music. He's really insistent on this. Personally I don't believe this helps the musici

If anyone has had success getting FluidSynth to avoid attacking each note in a slur when reading from a LilyPond-produced MIDI, I would be grateful to learn how to do it. If you know that it is impossible, I would be grateful to learn what is lacking. (Speak as technically as you like.) Thank

Hi all, In the following snippet, I’ve built my preferred markup to indicate that a shared choral staff (e.g., sopranos & altos) splits across the system break into two independent staves (e.g., a soprano staff and an alto staff). As you can see, it fails when there are extra prefatory items.
