Definitely r8 c4. ~ 2 (yes, I'm pretending issue 3648 has already passed). r8 c4. forms a logical rhythmical subgroup, and so does the following half note. In contrast, c2. would start at a somewhat syncopial time, suggesting a stress that should not be there in the total note length. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
