I think it would be better to phrase it as: There is no fundamental limit to note durations (both in terms of longest and shortest), but the number of glyphs is limited: there are flags up 64th and rests up to 128th. At the other extreme, there are note heads up to longa (4x whole note) and rests up to maxima (8 x whole?). Since beams can be extended arbitrarily, beamed notes can be arbitrarily short. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
