Ha! a double backslash... sorry I missed to observe this in the examples

Good! ... how did you know that a duration of 9 means a breve? And is there
perhaps another possibility to get a "real" \zwq ?

This sheet is intended for an SATB quatuor. I copied it from a hand-written
paper which had three voices, all three written on the same staff. This was
not very readable. The tenor of "my" edition sings in fact the same as the
soprano. I think that now it is more easy to read. The drawback of this is
that now it is rather hidden that T and S are singing the same voice. I hope
that I do not violate some ancient orthodox music setting tradition.
One "important" problem remains with this sheet: the \caesura is placed in
the middle between the two breves. But I want it to be just in front of the
second breve. Any idea?
In any case: thanks!
Luc
