Yes, I had feared this might be the case. I really hoped there would be something easier to use. I guess I now need some scheme that will determine the duration of a music expression and fill in rests in a particular voice (or voices) to suit. If anyone knows how to do that off-hand, please let me know. Otherwise I will hack and experiment later tonight. -- Michael Welsh Duggan ([email protected]) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
