Shame on me for not reading the code for \time; but if one were serious about creating a more uniform interface, one could write a conversion rule rather than sticking with the old syntax exactly, right? (Hans just said he uses a separate command to set the beat structure anyway.) It doesn’t matter right now, though. I’ll keep \compoundMeter numeric. Thanks for your help. — Dan _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
