Thanks for the examples. There is at least one special case missing from the examples: chords on ledger lines.
In chords, the ledger lines closer to the staff are not shortened. Two assumptions: either they are over-printed by the ledger lines of the lower (more distant) note or their shortening is overwritten by the other note's settings. In any case they are not shortened. { <disis cisis'>4^"upper ledger line not shortended" cisis'!4_"shortened" } Cheers, Joram _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
