Unequal spacing in odd-n tuplet with other simultaneous subdivisions

2013-04-08 Thread James Harkins
Known issue? I'm seeing a strange problem with unequal spacing in the third staff's septuplet. The spacing is mostly better if I remove the first staff, and the problem doesn't reproduce at all if I remove the first bar in all three staves. I apologize that the example is a bit longer than "tiny,"

Carlo, Could you duplicate the part (call \myBass a second time), but turn off the engravers that would display the notation itself? I don't have the code to do this handy, but that is what comes to mind to make thing work "automatically." Regards, Carl On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 12:28 PM, Carlo St
