Well, I just put up issue 5161 since I needed slurs to end at a repeat bar line. There is the reverse problem at the start of a coda or the start of any alternative but the first. You'll have the same basically for hairpins, of course. Accordion bellows direction change marks may be placed over a barline rather than the first following note if the direction does not change fast again. > In hairpins there are just those two different conventions (or > preferences, or use cases) where a (de)crescendo which musically ends > on the first beat of the next bar may be drawn up to that beat or to > the barline, but there is no analogy to that at the beginning of the > bar.

I don't think that this idea is as good as it may appear to you. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
