Yes I saw that and I always think 'so?'. I assume (and there is no explanation so if anyone can enlighten me) this is for things like midi? Actually I am struggling to think why this would be such a problem. I've just set over 2,000 measures of Schubert - 2 Trumpet Parts and 1 Clarinet plus some snippets of other instruments - and there are lots of repeated sections with a |: .... :| To have to use anything but \bar "|:" would be incredibly tedious. It didn't cause me any problems and in fact when I used \bar ":|:" when it fell at the end of a line break I was happy to see that LP 'did the right thing' and printed a :| and a |: on the two lines (at least I am sure she did - I'm too tired to check). So someone is going to have to convince me that \bar is bad. ;) Night. -- -- James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
