Great, you are updating it! Yes ligatures and accidentals didn't work. I mixed in normal LP ones but it looks very ugly. I had some questions I sent to your email on your webpage but it bounced: Is there a way to control the size of the notes and other things? I want to perform directly from the

I can't guarantee that there won't arise subtle problems (spacing differences, features I didn't test yet etc., especially since I also had to "update" some things that I didn't fully understand), but at least it should be a good starting point for further work. I should add that 1) there

I am not sure to understand. If your question is about having two piano staffs spaced as a continuum, I had found a way to do it which stopped functioning on the recent versions... and got an answer from this forum for a way (even 2 ways) to do it. An image will be easier... is this what you want

Printing two staves in the same place (overlaying)

This is going to sound unusual, but is there any way in which one can truly overlay staffs? I mean engraving a staff directly on top of another, not taking any collisions into account, etc. (I know how to combine voices; that's not what I'm asking about.) Is there any way to do this via a hack
