Yes, there are many lacks in the abcm2ps documentation! There is no explicit limit to the number of temporary voices except that these ones enter in the voice table which is limited to 32, and that more than 4 voices per staff is not handled. The overlay operator was a proposal from Taral. He thought that the single operator '&' could force the stem of the added voice to go down, while '&&' would let the program to compute it. In abcm2ps, this feature never worked (the stem direction is always computed, and *cannot* be forced - while it may be forced for normal voices by 'V:x stem=up|down|auto'). In the next release, I will remove this '&&' operator and also make the multi-bar overlay sequence to end only on '&)' instead of on a single ')'. -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** | http://moinejf.free.fr/ Pépé Jef | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
