Re[2]: Feathered Beam Timing

So after a little toying around with the suggestions from this thread, I've come up with the following: \once \override TupletNumber.text = \markup { \note-by-number #1 #0 #UP } \once \override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t \once \override TupletBracket.v

Re: Feathered Beam Timing

Hello, I have frequently encountered the situation where I want to have feathered durations within a specified duration -- e.g., a crotchet, or a minim, or a breve.  This is the code I've come up with: \once \override Beam.grow-direction = #RIGHT   \featherDurations #(ly:make-moment 1/2)   \t
