The symmetry of the note is unchanged; only its height is adjusted. pdf files with three different settings for overdone_heads and the noteheads in green are available on the tracker issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4693/ <https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4693/> Thanks, Carl -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Noteheads-slightly-too-large-tp184659p187226.html Sent from the Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
