Re: Beaming solution for non-standard notation

[Mats Bengtsson]

See the NEWS for version 2.10, which mentions the property duration-log.
The following example illustrates how to use it.

\version "2.10.0"
\relative c'''{
\time 2/2
\override NoteHead #'duration-log = #1
ges8*4[ ges f, \revert NoteHead #'duration-log  d8 e f g]
}
