It's a rising melody line starting in the left hand and moving to the right. The "music in the left hand" is _not_ "still continuing" in the execution, but it would be silly to write an actual rest here while the sustain pedal is down. So that's probably a case for f4*1/4 in the input. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
