Seems like I read too much into "It is true that this breaks old functionality for user overrides." > The main thing this patch effects are esoteric grobs that normally don't get > outside-staff-priority, like MultiMeasureRest, NoteHeads and Rests.

This is used as an example in the LM. > In light of this, what type of additions to the NR do you feel would be > necessary > to indicate the new behavior? Probably nothing the the NR (although I haven't read it carefully to check) but have a look at this section in the LM, particularly the bit on Slurs, to see if the text, as well as the examples, would remain correct. http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/learning/outside_002dstaff-objects#the-outside_002dstaff_002dpriority-property Trevor _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
