Respectfully as well, let's say I misunderstood your initial request due to some language-issues of a none-native-speaker. Otherwise this thread would surely blow up for additional 30-40 mails about how-to-ask or minimal-examples and other topics of this kind, containing opinions which all were stated before and that more than once. And you _did_ provide not only your reasoning, but also some code in follow ups. Looks like David N's replies fullfit your needs already :) All the best, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
