David, Yes, in that order - usually only three voice. This usually in "chord" that have a moving internal voice. Lilypond, as you stated, adjust the note columns and stem suitably. The only constant is change. The manual has been clearly written in the past. I can follow directions. Let the majority rule.

So you enter your material in that order? Particularly in connection with << ... \\ ... \\ ... ... >> ? If you do, you are representative for users that _will_ be getting headaches when we change this. I'm pretty sure that this is worth changing but I have rather few ideas how we could make the transition less painful. Maybe some switch/command that will revert to the old order? Then convert-ly would provide it when detecting a << ... \\ ... \\ ... ... >> construct and one would usually strive to edit the source in order to be able to remove it again. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
