Yes. My first thought was to add a fourth value to pitches -- octave, scale-note, normal-alteration, extra-alteration -- but this would also make things messy. I'm not sufficiently familiar with lilypond internals to make any kind of guess as to which is messier, or whether there's any alternate methods of doing this... I'm just trying to help the organization of development, and defining the problem clearly is the first step. :) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
