Hi James, Yes, I know enough Scheme to be dangerous, but it is not my language of choice. I have tried twice to write such a function, but it became so complex that I got lost in the (). :) I have tried the part combiner and it is close, but not the same. Attached is an example PDF and lilypond source. Thanks, Daniel On Thu, 2008-09-04 at 09:35 +0200, James E. Bailey wrote: > Am 04.09.2008 um 03:57 schrieb Daniel Cheramie: > > Automatically?
