You are right. We used to worry about the way things look in xdvi (PS doesn't show up in the magnifying glass), but I think that should be a lesser concern; I've changed the stem to be rounded too in 2.1 CVS. Getting rounding right for beams is a little tricky; it would involve some more hacking. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
