That's fine, so are you saying that the current snippet using \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0 Is not enough as it states in the LSR to guarantee horizontal beams because we don't want to contradict ourselves? I don't know how the code works, but as someone who browses the LSR I would just say that there is only one tweak needed, but you are implying there are cases when you need more than one tweak. That was my point. James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
