If it were 18th century music, mushing together separate voices into chords would be a complete no-no. Even when played on a simplistic one-manual keyboard (or the new-fangled pianoforte), the player would be expected to keep the separate voices coherent or he could without loss be replaced with an automaton. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
