Well, regardless of who broke what, it's true that there are a million conflicting ways to write these things, and instead of tying symbols to note names, thus rigidly enforcing one obscure system over another, Lilypond should use the Finale system of just graphically drawing whatever symbols the musician wants on the page. If the guy wants some ridiculous combination of flats, sharps, and circles, it should be available. In chords mode. I hope you will support me in this. I haven't heard anything from the authors yet, although I did provide the Finale font set that could be used as a guide in creating symbols. I will actually pay money if this happens. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
