Hi everyone! May be it can be useful to have the option of printing a grid, ideally in light gray with a spacing of 1 staff-space, to deal with paddings and extra-offset's in a preliminary print-out... That's something I was thinking of some time ago. In my opinion it would be best to define

Mats - Thanks. Your two alternatives should make the docs, maybe Tips and Tricks. In your preferred case, using a hidden grace longer than 1/16 causes a third ending to be inserted. Why? Bug? Using {\grace{\hideNotes g32 ( g32 }\unHideNotes a4 ) g e d | c1 }} improves the tie by

dotted notes

2005-09-21 Thread Michiel Lange
Attached a 7-measure example in .ly format to show what I mean ;-) In the case of multi-voice polyphony on a stave dotted notes get all their dots precisely below each other on a single line. In most cases this looks best, but sometimes it makes a dot 'float' and almost cause a collision with

Just posting this as general interest. Next week we (Iceland Symphony) will be playing Kalevi Aho's flute concerto. I noticed an odd notation. In a 5/4 measure there was a whole note immediately followed by a small x (looks more like a multiplication symbol) and no other notes in the measure.

transparent rests
