Oh, and you are using a lot of \stemUp/\stemDown commands. Those are usually the wrong thing to use since they affect only one aspect of multiple voice typesetting. For example, they won't affect the vertical positioning of multi-measure rests, unlike \voiceOne / \voiceTwo /... Also they don't provide adjustments in the case of notehead collisions. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
