Re: Changing the thickness of clusters

[Joshua Nichols]

I am absolutely baffled by this question.

Tell me about it.

...it might be simplest to reduce
the note head sizes. Tried it that does not work either.

Same here.

What on earth are clusters good for anyway? Aleatoric strangeness.

You are right, and I am definitely not a fan nor in agreement with clusters and other types of graphical notation, but I am working for people who do favor them, and I need to be able to do at least some of it (I draw the line at hand-drawn graphs like Crumb and Cage, where even the publishers wouldn't touch it).

But, this kind of notation is really useful for outlining general cues in pre-recorded tracks (hence my email). But, I understand if this has "never" been asked before; It would be cool to see where LilyPond takes in that direction. We definitely have competition; Finale 2014 can apparently "do it all" and can compose stuff like George Crumb stuff.

Has anyone thought about this? About advanced Contemporary Music? What about our (somewhat) competitive brother "Belle, Bonne, Sage"?
