Okay, I understand. Two notes on the same staff line or space, beamed together, where one is a tremolo and the other is not is a fairly specific special case :) > > (I know I can tweak the beam, just think I shouldn't have to.) > > There's lots of parameters controlling beam-setting in general; > maybe some adjustments would be an improvement overall. I had a look at the internals reference, but couldn't make heads or tails of it. Tweaking the parameters that penalize this or that depends on a lot of background information on the beaming algorithms... I guess. Would appreciate some pointers to make sense of those properties -- thanks in advance, James -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
