the sustainOn on beat 1 in bar 3 is far too far away from the music. the sustainOn on beat 3 and sustainOff on beat 4 should be on the same line (read: i would like). adjusting the alignment of the marks for each and every mark is extremely tedious and involves a lot of trial and error – especially in an 18-page piece with about 470 pedalling instructions, which is what i'm currently working on… for whatever reason, the vertical alignment in bar 1 looks good, albeit too far away from the staff. bar 2 is agreeable as well, but four different levels of pedal markings in bar 3 is not pretty. in my highly subjective opinion. :) which is the reason i wanted to use a Dynamics context for the pedalling and simply raise the context line to a suitable level and have some pedalling instructions drop out of the line… looks like it's the hard way for now though… :) regards, sb _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
