The one thing that I am unhappy with is that we have a separate \compoundTime command. I don't have a good idea for folding both of them into a single command, though. Not without sacrificing the beatStructure argument (unless we do really annoying things like making it negative, or using a vector, or using a "2+3" string). But while there is no different syntax in sight, there is no real excuse for not documenting the current one. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
