You keep on going on about "the moment" in the music, and I know what you mean - you mean the point *on the paper* where the note is printed. Which moves all over the place such that if you actually played the notes according to the "distance" they cover on the page you'd have a horrifying rubato effect :-) To me, "the moment" "obviously" :-) means the moment in time the note is played, which to me is represented by the barline, not the position of the note! :-) (One of the things that sometimes gets me, playing music, is just how hard it is to get musicians to play the note that is written - how often do you get them playing a crotchet as a semi-quaver! To the extent that I've seen music - not much admittedly - that actually writes crotchets as tied to a semi-quaver or something on the next beat in order to say "this one-beat note is one beat, not a fraction of a beat!" :-) Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
