... :O Amazing... First, thank you very much for the time you spent working on this issue. When I asked my question, I thought I'll receive a simple answer : yes it is possible with this command... or no, not possible. Since I've started learn LilyPond, it would appear that almost evry details can be personalized. That's why I am currently tring to get more in depth with all the commands in order to make my output as clean as it was when I used other major softwares. That's why I was surprised that no commands existed for this customization. But I didn't even imagined someone could just create a new one! I hope it didn't ask you too much time... Once again, a simple "no, not possible for the moment" would already have been enough! Anyway, I tried your code this morning, but I wasn't able to get the desired result. Maybe because I use the 2.19.80 version. I will try again later this afternoon. This kind of feature, especially \dotsAndDotColumnPadding, now that it is written, could it be now implemented in a future version or is it something a lot more complicated than that? Thank you again, Cheers. -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
